Celebrating #BiophysicsWeek T&C partnered with Phase Space Invaders podcast: Robert Best @sonyahanson.bsky.social @xuhuihuangchem.bsky.social and host @milosz-wieczor.bsky.social Episode 32: Driving the Future of Biophysics: What’s Next in Theory and Computation? www.buzzsprout.com/2313153/epis...

ROCKET 🚀 inference-time optimization of AlphaFold to fit structural data is published! rdcu.be/fa9YH Since our preprint, we’ve pushed it to regimes where other methods break: low resolution, weak signal, real experimental edge cases. Here’s what we learned: 1/15

#OpenSoftwareAcceleratesScience! 😍

New OpenFold3 preview out! (OF3p2) It closes the gap to AlphaFold3 for most modalities. Most critically, we're releasing everything, including training sets & configs, making OF3p2 the only current AF3-based model that is functionally trainable & reproducible from scratch🧵1/9

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.

After an Amtrak coding session with @minhuanli.bsky.social, ROCKET team is back at @rs-station.bsky.social HQ! Thank you to Pfizer for welcoming us in Groton and to everyone who attended our seminar online. Exciting work ahead to continue exploring frontiers in structure determination. Back to it 🚀

Introducing The Structural History of Eukarya (SHE): The first proteome-scale phylogeny constructed entirely from 3D structure. We computed 300 trillion alignments across 1,542 species to map the tree of life. 🧵👇 (1/5)

New Title Alert: meteor- a tool for computing crystallographic difference maps that specializes in robust identification of weak signals from minor populations such as bound ligands or time-resolved experimental changes. Learn more here: buff.ly/bgJYF9N #SBGrid #SBGridSoftware #StructuralBiology

Check our new preprint smoothing rugged Cryo-EM landscapes: shorturl.at/gYs9U We tackle practical hurdles of Optimal Transport (OT) loss—differentiability, cost & noise sensitivity—make it a feasible inference workhorse. W/ G. Woollard, D. Herreros, @pilarcossio.bsky.social, K. Dao Duc 🧵👇 (1/9)

Frontier structural biology chases low occupancies: weak binders in drug discovery & fleeting intermediates in time-resolved studies. When squeezing SNR, confirmation bias looms – you can see what you hope to see in the noise! Enter METEOR ☄️, our denoising+phasing framework! 1/8

Excited to share our latest @nature.com: How does naloxone (Narcan) stop an opioid overdose? We determined the first GDP-bound μ-opioid receptor–G protein structures and found naloxone traps a novel "latent” state, preventing GDP release and G protein activation.💊🧪 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you missed the live presentation with @alisiafadini.bsky.social and @minhuanli.bsky.social introducing ROCKET, you can watch the video on SBGrid's YouTube channel. More here: buff.ly/nsA12eg #SBGrid #Webinars

OpenFold3-preview (OF3p) is out: a sneak peek of our AF3-based structure prediction model. Our aim for OF3 is full AF3-parity for every modality. We now believe we have a clear path towards this goal and are releasing OF3p to enable building in the OF3 ecosystem. More👇

ROCKET's webinar on cryo-EM+crystal data-guided protein structure prediction is now online 🚀: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_29C... Thank you to the many of you who attended and stayed overtime for more Q&A, and especially to @sbgrid.bsky.social for hosting us last week!

We'll cover our latest work on low resolution applications, a run-through of our codebase, and tutorials of how to run ROCKET on your own data. Join if you're interested!! 🚀

Structural biology is in an era of dynamics & assemblies but turning raw experimental data into atomic models at scale remains challenging. @minhuanli.bsky.social and I present ROCKET🚀: an AlphaFold augmentation that integrates crystallographic and cryoEM/ET data with room for more! 1/14.
