Some very cool simulations, look at those little guys climb that ladder! #MolecularNodes
@corrylab.bsky.social · 2mo agoExcited to share this paper from @yiechanglin.bsky.social showing how lipids can move between bacterial membranes along the bridge like protein TamB. Also happy to be able to post the cool movie. 🎥🌟 #MDsimulations #StructuralBiology doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...
HAPPENING THIS WEEK 🗓️ May 14th, 2026 ⏰ 15:00 CEST In the next Career Café Session, we will host Dr. Dawn Thompson from the University of Aberdeen, UK. This would be a great opportunity to listen to the journey of a successful scientist who established her own group in recent years! #ECI_zoominar
Community perspective: Toward a unified framework for determining conformational ensembles of disordered proteins 🍝 with framework for experimental data acquisition, computational ensemble generation & validation Led by @hamidrgh.bsky.social, Silvio Tosatto & Alex Monzon doi.org/10.1038/s415...
[…] “for too long now, research has been trapped by indicators that actually have nothing to do with the intrinsic quality of the scientific advances set out in a publication"
Toni@giorginolab.it · 5mo agowww.cnrs.fr/en/update/cn... > [..] "a reductive view of science that we should no longer be condoning. This means we have to take action now to guarantee the quality and the ethics of the research assessment system".
📢 Happening today at 4pm CEST. We host Dr. Phil Richter from Leinniz Institute for food systems biology at TUM. Don't miss it. If you do not receive the announcement emails and the join link, send us a DM. #ECI_Zoominar #GPCR_Forum

What better way to use my first proper post than to share my first big piece of post-doctoral work with @cg-martini.bsky.social! Here, we used integrative modelling to build and simulate a mitochondrial cristae. Find the paper here (rdcu.be/eujAC) or see below for a quick overview 👇
“The assessment of monomer targets in the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction Round 16 (CASP16) underscores that the problem of single-domain protein fold prediction is nearly solved--no target folds were missed across all Evaluation Units.”
