I’m happy to share that I will join the LIT in Regensburg (lit.eu) as a Group Leader in Structural Biochemistry in May! More updates on Bluesky or LinkedIn 🙂. (This will be my last post here for now.)

This is 🔥🔥🔥! @MartinPacesa, Lennart Nickel, @befcorreia @sokrypton, et al. developed BindCraft - an open-source pipeline to design de novo binders for basically any protein of interest. We asked if we could design binders for CbAgo - a DNA-guided DNA interfering Argonaute..
We updated our BindCraft preprint with lots of new exciting results! We release all our binder sequences and models, include more in silico analysis, novel design targets, and present AAV retargeting to specific cell types using de novo binders! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to join the Gene Center at LMU @GeneCenter_LMU @LMU_Muenchen as a professor, looking forward to design some cool and unusual de novo proteins here!
🥳 We welcome Lukas Milles as new group leader🤗🤗! Since July 2024, he's leading an Emmy Noether Research Group at MPI Biochemistry, now also affiliated with us! 💻🧪 His work focuses on protein design, deep learning & biophysics. genzentrum.uni-muenchen.de/r… @LFMilles @MPI_Biochem

If you or someone you know is curious about #splicing, the Beusch lab (beuschlab.org) @Uni_WUE is hiring PhD students! Check out the official advertisement here: rb.gy/6432qj - still a chance to apply till Oct 15th!

Here is the link to the Colab, let us know if you have any problems or you have a hard target our pipeline cannot design against! We want to keep improving it and community feedback is very important 🙏🏻💻 colab.research.google.com/gi…
Replying to @MartinPacesa
Then I thank @befcorreia for his awesome guidance! The pipeline is based on and uses components from the fantastic work from @sokrypton ColabDesign, @RosettaCommons PyRosetta, and @JustasDauparas ProteinMPNN.

There is a new tool on BioIcons to turn any protein (in PDB format) into a 2D vector illustration in SVG format. You can upload any PDB file or import from PDB, AlphaFoldDB or ESMFoldDB. Feedback welcome :) bioicons.com/pdb2vector/

Congratz Martin and Lennart, to me this is not unexpected at all 😁 👏 🙌
Wow, this is really unexpected! Designs were done together with Lennart Nickel in @befcorreia lab. Our pipeline will be fully open source and preprint online hopefully next week 🙂

Congrats to @MartinPacesa !!! The first two hits were pretty much identical to known binders so are not counted in the leaderboard

In this new @CIR_AACR study, Drs. @darelmb, @MiglioriniDenis, and team at @unige_en validate PTPRZ1 as a #glioblastoma target and prompt the clinical translation of anti-PTPRZ1 CAR T cells. 🥼 Give it a read: bit.ly/3zmteUq

The Google Colab version of RFdiffusion with the conditional fold generation option worked well! We successfully placed two helices in the beta barrel structure. The RMSD between prediction and X-ray is only 0.3 Å! colab.research.google.com/gi… colab.research.google.com/gi…
