Excited to announce the Austrian Computational Bioscience Days @bokuvienna.bsky.social, with the always great @amjjbonvin.bsky.social ! Join us June 30 and July 1 at BOKU University in Vienna indico.egi.eu/event/6940/ #compchem 🧪

Still possible to register for the 14th Young Scientists' Symposium! 📅 4-5 June 2026 @iecb.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social Fantastic lineup of keynote speakers. @marionjasnin.bsky.social @amjjbonvin.bsky.social @olallalab.bsky.social

When to submit targets: NOW - July 10, 2026. How to submit targets: predictioncenter.org/casp17/callF...

Is #AI hitting a plateau in structure prediction? Help us find out at CASP17! 🧪🧬 Calling for Targets: Immune Complexes, protein - ligand complexes, RNA/DNA, conformational ensembles, membrane proteins, viral origins, and large complexes. The Rule of Thumb: If AF3 can’t model it, we want it.

It's hard to describe how valuable CASP is to the structural biology & structure prediction field. The ever increasing number of prediction algorithms means independent assessment of their accuracy is vital. Please contribute interesting/tricky structural data if you can!

While in Taipei at Academia Sinica for the #ISGC2026 symposium on grid and cloud computing, and giving a @bioexcelcoe.bsky.social #GANANA #HADDOCK workshop our HADDOCK portal passed the cap of 80000 registered users! Live stats at wenmr.science.uu.nl

You asked, we listened. Millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures are now available in the #AlphaFold Database. This spans homodimers from 20 of the most studied species, including humans, as well as the World Health Organization’s priority pathogens list. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t...

Got to visit Fugaku at Rikken today for the #acmasianschool2026_Japan - this how 7.6 million CPU cores look like 😀 and much quieter than our small cluster room!

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...
