Using laboratory-evolved versions of enzymes called CASTs, researchers have achieved a long-standing goal of genome editing: inserting entire healthy genes into human cells efficiently enough for potential therapeutic applications. @isaacwitte.bsky.social @eitzingersimon.bsky.social

Here's one to add to your Friday reading list! 🚨Just in press in J. Mol. Biol.🚨: a beautiful review on the structures, mechanisms, regulation, and open questions of aminoacyl-tRNA-protein transferases by Misti and Rajat who work on amino acid transferases! Read the paper here: tinyurl.com/mr386wsn

An amazing new enabling technology. Measurements of molecular size and shape on a chip. Couldn't be prouder of our friend Madhavi Krishnan of @ox.ac.uk this was and is one among the must fun collaborations I ever had. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So excited to get this work out there! We have been working hard to "crack the CIA code" - more to come soon! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wow. This is really stunning . www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

At least some meetings essential to approving new grants by the National Institutes of Health will be back on track later this month. scim.ag/41FbfEg

AlphaFold has achieved significant success in protein prediction, even winning a Nobel Prize. AlphaFold3 now includes predictions for different molecules. What are the current limitations in predicting RNA structure? #3DRNAStructure #AlphaFold3 doi.org/10.1107/S205...
