Academic tip: sometimes you have to write "Importantly," to get a sentence started and then you can go back and delete it.

My main work as postdoc @plantophagy.bsky.social lab in @gmivienna.bsky.social is out in @natplants.nature.com 🌱🎉 We asked how can protein complexes diversify without compromising their function and explored this question using the plant #exocyst complex. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

(1/7) Training biomolecular foundation models shouldn't be so hard. And open-source structure prediction is important. So today we're releasing two software packages: AtomWorks and RosettaFold3 (RF3) [https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.14.670328v2](www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)

This review summarizes advancements in solubility and controllable aggregation tags for recombinant protein purification, highlighting design strategies, on-demand cleavage, and emerging production challenges. #HM #protein #purification #tags #proteases www.sciltp.com/journals/hm/...

RosettaFold 3 is here! 🧬🚀 AtomWorks (the foundational data pipeline powering it) is perhaps the really most exciting part of this release! Congratulations @simonmathis.bsky.social and team!!! ❤️ bioRxiv preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
