Great work from Horia Todor in Carol Gross's lab showing it's possible to predict complexes in "competition" pools in AF3 resulting in the first all-by-all prediction for a species. After length correcting the ipTM score predicts well known interactions and correlating ipTM vectors also has value.

P2Rank has a new version - you can even see a ligand bound to the identified pocket now - please , check it out and look at our NAR paper for a summary of the upgrades

Things are often obvious, but sometimes less so. It is true also for small things like ligand-binding sites. In this work, our @cusbg.bsky.social group presents a new dataset designed for cryptic-binding site predictons - happy, to be part of this: academic.oup.com/bioinformati...

We did this crazy project where we tried to see if proteins could interact with their mirror image ligand. Seems impossible when proteins need to form 3D structures to interact. But what about if the interaction remains disordered??? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Stereochemistry in the disorder–order continuum of protein interactions - Nature

Studies on protein–protein interactions using proteins containing d- or l-amino acids show that stereoselectivity of binding varies with the degree of disorder within the complex.
