Excited to see our review now on arXiv, written together with @fpesce.bsky.social and @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social doi.org/10.48550/arX...

New preprint is out ! Bad news : current all-atom simulations of phosphorylated IDPs are very probably wrong (and yes, this is clickbaity on purpose 😇) Good news : we know what to blame for it, and we even have an idea of how to fix it !

Our paper on: A coarse-grained model for simulations of phosphorylated disordered proteins (aka parameters for phospho-serine and -threonine for CALVADOS) is now published in Biophysical Journal authors.elsevier.com/a/1lTcE1SPTB... @asrauh.bsky.social @giuliotesei.bsky.social & Gustav Hedemark

Arriën & Giulio's paper on A coarse-grained model for disordered proteins under crowded conditions (that is the CALVADOS PEG model) is now published in final form: dx.doi.org/10.1002/pro.... @asrauh.bsky.social @giuliotesei.bsky.social

AlphaFold is amazing but gives you static structures 🧊 In a fantastic teamwork, @mcagiada.bsky.social and @emilthomasen.bsky.social developed AF2χ to generate conformational ensembles representing side-chain dynamics using AF2 💃 Code: github.com/KULL-Centre/... Colab: github.com/matteo-cagia...

Led by @sobuelow.bsky.social & @giuliotesei.bsky.social we put together a full overview of the CALVADOS software and applications. Give it a read: doi.org/10.48550/arX... Give it a try: github.com/KULL-Centre/...

Thanks to @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social and all authors for this wonderful project on predicting IDR phase separation from sequence! Check out the published version (including added exp. data from @tanjamittag.bsky.social) and feel free to try out our webserver.

Very happy to share our next extension to the CALVADOS protein force field: If you want to explore the changes in global dimensions of a disordered protein upon phosphorylation: give it a read and a try! Big thank you to @giuliotesei.bsky.social, @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social and Gustav S. Hedemark

Excited to share our PEG model for disordered proteins in CALVADOS! If you are interested in exploring the effects of a crowder on the global dimensions of an IDP or want to explore the phase separation behaviour of a more weakly PS-prone IDP, have a look at our preprint and give it a try.

Preprint submitted 🇺🇦

How do proteins mis-fold? Paper led by Jacob Aunstrup from Alex Büll’s lab with MD simulations by Abigail Barclay, and key contributions from several others. We combined measurements of Φ-values with MD simulations to study the transition state for amyloid fibril growth doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Check out @rasmusnorrild.bsky.social's work with Alex Buell and Joe Rogers developing and using Condensate Partitioning by mRNA-Display to probe phase separation of ~100.000 sequences, and @sobuelow.bsky.social's simulations to support and analyse the experiments www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In our new paper we characterize the effects of indel variants on protein folding and stability using a new yeast-based protein folding sensor. The work was led by Sven Larsen-Ledet and supported by the @novo-nordisk.bsky.social. Link to paper: www.cell.com/structure/fu...

Meet the CALVADOS RNA model Ikki Yasuda, Sören von Bülow & Giulio Tesei have parameterized a simple model for disordered RNA. Despite it's simplicity (no sequence, no base pairing) we find that it captures several phenomena that depend on the charge, stickiness and polymer properties of RNA 🧬🧶🧪

If you are a PhD student and like protein disorder (or want to learn more), Birthe Kragelund @bbkrage.bsky.social and Kristian Strømgaard are organizing a PhD course on How IDPs work 🧶🧬🧪 Note the cost if you are not at a Danish university. Details: phdcourses.ku.dk/DetailKursus...
