Crosslinks can sometimes improve AlphaFold3 models. Crosslinking is an experimental method often used as a source of distance restraints in modeling. In AlphaFold3, instead of using restraints, crosslinks can be included as covalent ligands. Thanks to @aobarska for the idea.

Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isn’t this damage repaired? Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.šŸ§¬šŸ’„ bit.ly/48e35Ee (1/13)

A comprehensive review from @UmbertoAiello @DomenicoLibri and @OPorrua on Sen1. Its timely and complements this work out today: nature.com/articles/s41594-0…… Our work highly benefitted from the many contributions of Domenico and Odil to understand Sen1's functions in transcription.
From today it’s online a review for @JMolBiol that I had the pleasure to write together with @DomenicoLibri and @OPorrua. We have made our best to summarize the current knowledge on one of our favorite proteins: Sen1! (link below ā¬‡ļø)
