RFdiffusion2 is now live! https://t.co/H5bsYd0YuA You can now design proteins, and in particular enzymes from just partially defined amino acid side chains, and without defining their sequence position or order! Great job @r_krishna3 @woodyahern @dougtischer and everyone else!

Adenosine kinase and ADAL coordinate detoxification of modified adenosines to safeguard metabolism: Cell
cell.com
Ogawa et al. report that the intrinsically toxic RNA catabolites m6A, m6,6A, and i6A are detoxified through sequential action of ADK and ADAL, forming IMP. Disruption of this modified adenosine...

The most radically recoded genome yet! Syn57 is E Coli with only 57 codons, freeing space to encode up to 4 non-canonical amino acids. That, combined with its virus resistance, will make it an incredible tool for biomanufacturing. From the Chin Lab in @ScienceMagazine

The eukaryotic tRNA chaperone La impacts tRNA modification levels (queuosine and others). Interesting because in procaryotes, tRNA modif enzymes themselves are thought to be chaperones. In both cases, there seems to be a link between modif and chaperones.

Abstract. The RNA-binding protein La is found in most eukaryotes, and despite being essential in many organisms, its function is not completely clear. Tryp
