Ten years ago, our director, Stefan Jentsch, passed away. A memorial symposium will be held in his honour on October 23. Many of his former colleagues and friends will be in attendance. Would you like to join? Please register until October 1: ❕https://eveeno.com/256035281 #Ubiquitin #Symposium

Every electron counts⚛️! Researchers have determined the structure of the protein rubredoxin at an unprecedented 0.43 Ångström resolution. The method could now allow routine quantum crystallography of biological macromolecules. 👇More about this major advancement: www.mpinat.mpg.de/5314392/rn_2...

A sad day. Ada's pioneering work on the ribosome changed how we understand one of the central machines of life. She is a remarkable example of curiosity and boldness in pursuing questions that seemed impossible. Her scientific courage and persistence has been an inspiration.

How do African trypanosomes regulate the complement system? Check out our new study from @BiochemCook, in which he identified a new trypanosome receptor which binds to the core C3bBb convertase of the complement system and blocks its activity. Real all about it! doi.org/10.64898/202...

We posted a new preprint, Prot-LAMBDA. Unlike most protein language models, it is a pLM with an explicit encoding of protein structures. Strong performance in structure-related tasks including structure prediction. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

It's out in @cp-structure.bsky.social! A fun process sorting out this puzzle with everyone in the @danengw.bsky.social group at NYUSoM! www.cell.com/structure/ab...

Structures of the human sodium-citrate cotransporter NaCT with and without substrates

Uptake of citrate by human NaCT is driven by a sodium gradient. Its sodium-substrate coupling mechanism is unclear. Sauer et al. determined cryo-EM structures of the protein in apo, in sodium, and in ...

I’ve been really excited by conferences that aim to combine techniques across scales, as I think it’s what’s current and future for #structbio. If you get excited by the same, here is an upcoming structural biology/computation/imaging conference at Keystone 👇🏾

Check out our latest work! AlphaFold 3 revealed a transient immune receptor complex that eluded biochemical studies for almost a decade 🤯 We describe a conserved structural logic underlying sensor–helper communication in an NLR immune receptor network 🧵👇

1/6 🧪 Big news for structural biology and AI: PDBe is now AI-native. We’ve built MCP Servers that connect the Protein Data Bank in Europe and the Alphafold Protein Structure Database directly to Claude and other MCP-compatible AI systems. Here’s what that unlocks 👇

The genome of ebola virus contains instructions for building seven proteins, which assemble with the genomic RNA to form one of the deadliest viruses. More at PDB-101:
