Very happy that NWO supports this major upgrade of our national EM infrastructure. It is great that this initiative got broad support all over NL, and it will EMPower fantastic science - looking forward to that! www.uu.nl/en/news/33-m...

Looking forward to contribute!

Looks like OpenFold3 has been formally released in a public "preview". Not quite on parity with AlphaFold3 on a few benchmarks shown, in particular for antibody interactions. All info on the github link. I am sure we will hear more about this from the developers github.com/aqlaboratory...

New Title Alert: HADDOCK3- is the next generation integrative modeling software in the long-lasting HADDOCK project. Learn more here: buff.ly/gInH6VV #SBGrid #SBGridSoftware #StructuralBiology

🧬 New paper out from our Computational Molecular Systems Biology team at @UGSF-lille ! Proud to have contributed to the CAPRI 8 challenge 🔗 Read it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #CAPRI8 #AlphaFold #ProteinStructure #StructuralBiology #AIinBiology #Bioinformatics #UGSF

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GRIDS & CLOUDS (ISG) 2026 15-20 March 2026, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan CALL FOR ABSTRACT There will also be a #HADDOCK @bioexcelcoe.bsky.social workshop in the context of the EU-INDIA GANANA project.

And the legacy continues! 😊 @amjjbonvin.bsky.social @bioinfo.se @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social #EMBOIntegMod25 ! 🍀🧿

Still time to register for the next CAPRI round and put your methods to the test for predicting the structure of four antibody-antigen complexes - prediction period opening on Sept. 29th.

A new CAPRI round is coming up with 4 antibody-antigen targets! The registration opens next Monday (Sept. 22nd). Check it out at www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/complex...

5️⃣ Featuring the fifth of our showcase projects Our automated pipeline, built on BioBBs, uses #AlphaFold, MD simulations, and virtual screening to output a list of ligand poses ➡️ bioexcel.eu/1c1j #DrugDiscovery #Workflows #CADD #VirtualScreening

4️⃣ Featuring the fourth of our showcase projects Upgrading GROMACS to handle billion-atom systems and enhancing I/O performance and precision, making the first-ever whole-cell simulation possible ➡️ bioexcel.eu/uw67 #MolecularDynamics #GROMACS #ComputationalBiology

2⃣ Featuring the second of our showcase projects Through a combination of AlphaFold2 and other tools we are bypassing the limits of traditional MD simulations ➡️ bioexcel.eu/dvy3 #Proteins #MolecularDynamics #GROMACS #AlphaFold2

Critical benchmarking of structure prediction methods has been crucial for measuring progress and detecting breakthroughs. But how will the future look like? Join the discussion at our workshop in Basel on September 8 - just before the [BC]2 conference. @sib.swiss @biozentrum.unibas.ch ⬇️⬇️⬇️

this seems like a very good idea actually

A small reminder to all structural biologists around working on biomolecular complexes: please consider sharing your complexes as targets for CAPRI - AI has not solved all structure prediction problems and there are still challenges! See www.capri-docking.org/contribute/

💻 Code and input data are openly available with documentation and examples to support reproducible antibody modelling and docking workflows:

🧬 Now published in Bioinformatics Advances: "Improved prediction of antibody and their complexes with clustered generative modelling ensembles"   Full article available: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioadv/vbaf161 Authors include: @xiaotong-xu.bsky.social, @amjjbonvin.bsky.social

The result of a master student project by Miguel Sanchez-Marin supervised by Marco Giulini - well done both!

PUBMED is down. This is disaster !! We do not have the system and organization to replace it. (EuroPMC is great but not a replacement) It is crystal clear that we cannot depend on critical systems provided by a single provider. European reaction has to include science and science infrastructures.

Reminder that Europepmc.org exists. In case anyone should need it for any reason.
