Blue-sky, I need your help. Is alphafold good in predicting protein-protein interactions involving beta sheets?

A new study, published today in Nature, reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue. A better understanding of how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level could help inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes in the future.

Still time to apply for the MRC LMS Emerging Innovators Fellowship for scientists of Black heritage!!!

📢To all postdocs. Are you ready to start your semi-independent career? The BBSRC Fellowship call is open. We may host you if you work at the interface of DNA replication/chromatin biology/cancer and like to use protein biochemistry, genomics, cryo-EM, AlphaFold, MD... www.ukri.org/opportunity/...

700,000 women are to be recruited to take part in an NHS AI breast cancer screening trial in England. Five different AI platforms will be tested across 30 sites from April to see if the technology can speed up diagnosis as well as free up radiologists. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Excited to share our preprint reporting a completely new approach to study kinase signaling: ProKAS. ProKAS is based on a tandem array of peptide sensors with barcodes for multiplexed, spatial and kinetic applications. We applied it to DDR kinases. Please share. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I was waiting for that...
