I am so excited that MONDE·T is out! Alex and I worked so hard on this database and webserver to make it easy for everyone to work with ncAAs. -> mondet.tuebingen.mpg.de It was a please for me to collaborate on that project with you, Alex 🥰 For many more to come. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Is human limb regeneration science fiction? 🤯 What if the oxygen we breathe suppresses our ability to regenerate? @canaztekin.bsky.social busts myths and reveals the potential of regeneration. Watch the video: www.fml.tuebingen.mpg.de/71433/videos #BiologyMyths

We’re renewing our collaboration with Google DeepMind! We'll keep developing the AlphaFold Database to support protein science worldwide 🎉 To mark the moment we’ve synchronised the database with UniProtKB release 2025_03. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t... 🖥️🧬 #AlphaFold @pdbeurope.bsky.social

This summer school was so much fun! I feel honored to be selected as a speaker at the BioExcel webinar 🎤🎤☺️

Day 4 of the Summer School 2025 was about workflows and protein structure prediction Adam Hospital introduced BioExcel Building Blocks #BioBB and followed up with a hands-on #tutorial on how to perform protein-ligand complex #moleculardynamics in Jupyter notebooks using BioBB

Day 3 of the Summer School is about enhanced sampling and free energy calculations⚡️ Berk Hess introduced the AWH method implemented in #GROMACS and illustrated its application to alchemical transformations where the main challenge is to define a good reaction coordinate

First full day of the Summer School on Biomolecular Simulations 2025 in Sardinia 😎 🏖️ It's mostly about #moleculardynamics and #GROMACS with lectures and hands-on tutorials Check out these useful MD tricks from Prof. Berk Hess👇

Fantastic Proteins, Fantastic Team, Fantastic Diversity Day! 🪄 At this year's diversity day at @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social , we shared our fascination with proteins with our colleagues.🧪 Huge thanks to my winning team: @hadeerelhabashy.bsky.social , Alex Waldherr, and Claudio Piselli ❤️

Excited to share our new preprint on HLp—a bacterial histone from Leptospira perolatii that forms stable tetramers and wraps ~60 bp of DNA: "DNA Wrapping by a Tetrameric Bacterial Histone" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social

209 new entries in #PDBrelease (http://PDBe.org/latest)! Here's the cryo-EM derived structure of a photosystem II complex with a Lys317Ala mutation that reveal new insights into proton egress through the conserved chlorine (Cl1) hydrogen-bonding channel (http://PDBe.org/9eh5).

Cook, Chen, Nguyen, Claveras et al. used #CryoEM ❄️& #moleculardynamics 💻 to crack the activation code of this essential complex. Read more here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
