New #preprint alert! Fast sampling of #RNA–Mg²⁺ binding. @ollyfutur.bsky.social, Elisa Posani and @bussigio.bsky.social present an enhanced-sampling method, extending our top-performing #CASP16 approach, and validate it with #cryoEM. arxiv.org/abs/2607.07186 Summary in thread👇

Today, our 600 MHz #Bruker spectrometer #Boo produced its very first signal, somewhere roughly around 600 MHz

Our work presented today at the @cecamevents.bsky.social meeting Decoding Allostery in Protein-Nucleic Acid Complexes: The AI Revolution www.cecam.org/workshop-det...! @bussigio.bsky.social will show how we integrate #DMS probing and #cryoEM with computational models for #RNA dynamics

#RNA Framework 2.9.7 is out! Several additions, important fixes and improvements. Please update! Check it out: github.com/dincarnato/R... & see the CHANGELOG (buff.ly/4gtJ67u) for the details!
