Honestly a well-deserved Nobel. AI is a mostly a scourge but it does have some important uses and predicting protein folding is one of them.
BREAKING NEWS.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Really awesome work in single-electron PLP chemistry from Team PLP and my friend Kareem! It's been really exciting watching this project evolve over time.
Check out our new work led by the amazing Dr. Ye Wang in @J_A_C_S! We are so proud of this wonderful team and their investigation into the PLP radical!.

That's my mentor!.
In a new @ASBMB Profile article, @NarayanLab member Kendrick Smith discusses how music, synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis and ever-present notebooks shape his approach to science and teaching.

I once copy-pasted some text from one document to another. Word decided to unbold all my bolded text, randomly bolded other words, and deleted all of my line breaks.
Me: Can I move this table?. Microsoft Word: Yes. I've also altered your margins, converted all "a" to $, printed page 4, and hidden one of your shoes. Is there anything else I can help you with?.

I'm not a particularly emotional guy. Seeing totality for the first time was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. Nothing else I've done has lived up to the hype in the same way.

Look I get there's construction in Ann Arbor leading to bus routes being detoured, but the bus I was tracking just. Vanished? From the app? Never appeared at the stop? Did the Biotage eat my bus too?.

Total synthesis chemists looking at this like it's A5 wagyu. "I can do it in just 95 steps I swear".
Is everything bigger in #Texas?? Me & @BradMoore_SIO are stoked to unveil the “PKZILLAs”: Genes for the new largest known enzymes and proteins in #biology, from the Texan fish-killing alga Prymnesium parvum. PKZILLAs make their giant 90-carbon polyketide toxin, prymnesin! 🧵1/n
