Researchers use #AI and Reverse Vaccinology 2.0 on human blood samples to identify a potential new mpox target, and use the target in a vaccine that elicited mpox-neutralizing antibodies in mice. @ScienceTM

What if we have a big protein but need a smaller version for delivery or engineering? Introducing SCISOR: we shrink proteins by training a diffusion model to find natural substrings! arXiv: https://t.co/hxk2ilSIOf

🚨 New Results Alert 🚨 Have you ever wondered what new therapeutic avenues would be enabled if we could program T Cells in the computer to target any desired peptide-MHC neoantigen with a TCR or a TCR-like antibody? What if we could validate these molecules easily in small

Excited to share @Nature: How does naloxone (Narcan) stop an opioid overdose? We determined the first GDP-bound μ-opioid receptor–G protein (wt) structures and found naloxone traps a novel "latent” state, preventing GDP release and G protein activation. 🧵 https://t.co/E2fZXw2Pom

Thrilled to share that today we report our human protein interactome in @ScienceMagazine! Predicting which pairs of proteins in the human proteome is a great challenge due to the shallow eukaryotic evolutionary signals but hugely important to understand.

We sought to make proteins both potent and FAST. We used #proteindesign to design precise control over protein interaction lifetimes, enabling us to construct rapid-response circuits, biosensors, and switchable cytokines. Now published @Nature! Links to paper and tutorial below.
