Monovalent pseudo-natural products supercharge degradation of IDO1 by its native E3 KLHDC3 - Nature Chemistry
In targeted protein degradation, a degrader molecule brings a neosubstrate protein proximal to a hijacked E3 ligase for its ubiquitination. Here, pseudo-natural products derived from (−)-myrtanol—iDeg...

Inhibitors supercharge kinase turnover through native proteolytic circuits - Nature
Inhibitor-induced kinase degradation is a common event that positions supercharging of endogenous degradation circuits as an alternative to classical proximity-inducing degraders.

Was wonderful presenting at the #AITHYRA AI for Life Science Opening Symposium in Vienna this week! Thank you @mmbronstein.bsky.social and @georgwinter.bsky.social for the invitation to present our newest work! #biology #research #AIforLifeScience @imbavienna.bsky.social @francesarnold.bsky.social
We are honored that Nobel laureate @francesarnold.bsky.social of @caltech.edu is giving the keynote lecture tonight at the #AIforLifeScience Symposium!
“We need to start all over again and reinvent small molecule drug discovery in a way that is native to AI”, Greg Verdine, Co-Founder, President and CEO of LifeMine Therapeutics, is convinced. #AIForLifeScience #AITHYRA
“We can do science in a different way: generate very big datasets, train models with them, and then use that to predict and engineer biology”, says @benlehner.bsky.social from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social at the #AITHYRA #AIForLifeScience Symposium
Everything comes to an end, but we have the feeling that the first AITHYRA #AIinLifeScience Symposium in Vienna can only be the beginning of a conference series. Thanks to all participants for a successful event! www.oeaw.ac.at/aithyra/about
