CDU’s debt brake turns out to be a lot like my diet: spend many months telling everyone you meet that it’s tough but totally essential and completely inviolable, before just junking the whole thing whenever you feel like it

The BioEmu-1 model and inference code are now public under MIT license!!! Please go ahead, play with it and let us know if there are issues. github.com/microsoft/bi...

📢 New preprint, lead by Alex Bronstein, @sankethvedula.bsky.social and colleagues: Guiding AlphaFold with experimental data. This approach generates conformational ensembles guided by NMR, X-ray (or whatever) data. I am thrilled to tackle lots of exciting problems with it! arxiv.org/abs/2502.09372

Molecular dynamics requires a lot of expert knowledge to set-up and analyze simulations. We set out to automate it with LLM agents: MDCrow!

ÅNGSTRÖM-RESOLUTION IMAGING OF CELL-SURFACE GLYCANS 🧬🎨🍬 The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density, which usually isn’t attainable. Lipid-CLEM brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Ooh nice preprint! Studying membrane nanodomains needs nanoscale lipid localization - current methods fall short. 'Lipid-CLEM', correlative light & EM with click chemistry to map lipids. In endosomes, it shows sphingomyelin’s differential partitioning beautifully. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A unique opportunity for the European research system (which we will, of course, not pick up)

👇Effective use of #AI tools for software development still requires deep domain knowledge and technical expertise Rather than replacing fundamental skills, #AI serves as a powerful accelerator for experienced developers who understand both the problem space and the capabilities of their tools

Ten simple rules for developing good reading habits during graduate school and beyond To me, the most important are: Read often, read broadly (incl. older papers and outside your field), and learn to read some papers in detail and others more superficially (and quickly)

Check out our new paper! Protein assembly in membranes is crucial yet elusive. Why steer when you can just observe? We introduce a bias-free simulation method that captures the full picture of transmembrane dimerization—free energies, mechanisms, and rates! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Impressive work by @franknoe.bsky.social and team! A pragmatic tour-de-force combining experimental and predicted protein structures, MD simulations and experimental stability data to sample conformational ensembles of proteins. Think AlphaFold, but capturing multiple free energy minima.
