Nanobodies can bind small-molecules with high affinity and knowing how well predictors perform is essential to design new nanobodies. Here Berta Bori-Bru tested a large set of predictors onto the (small) set of available PDB structures to see how they perform. academic.oup.com/peds/article...

Assessing structural prediction accuracy for nanobody–small molecule complexes

Abstract. Generative models have transformed structural bioinformatics, enabling antibody and nanobody design against protein epitopes; however, nanobody e

I'm glad to have contributed to the tribute to Joe Francisco, together with Josep Anglada. Maybe my last work on atmospheric chemistry 🥲 pubs.acs.org/jpcafh/colle... published in @pubs.acs.org

We are looking for a lab manager starting from January 2027, you can find more information on our members page pacesalab.com#members. We are also starting to look into hosting master students starting 2027.

📢 We're hiring a PhD student (4 years) in computational chemistry at Freie Universität Berlin. Research on molecular dynamics, molecular kinetics, rare events & machine learning. Apply by 3 Aug 2026: jobs.fu-berlin.de/job/Research... #CompChem

Our work describing NEMAT: An Automated Nonequilibrium Free-Energy Framework for Predicting Ligand Affinity in Membrane Proteins is now in JCIM @acs.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... It has a new logo and improvements from the reviewers. The code is open-source here github.com/QTC-IQAC/NEMAT

I love the logo! 😍 @feworkshop.bsky.social

🔬 Postdoctoral opportunity in Medicinal Chemistry & Oncology We’re seeking an excellent candidate to apply for a Marie Curie Fellowship at IQAC-CSIC. At the Drug Discovery & Medicinal Chemistry Group, we develop innovative strategies to target cancer stem cells with high precision. #MSCA #Postdoc

If you are a grad or a MSc student ready to start you research career you can apply to JAE-Intro @csic.es fellowships. Our institute has several offers, and some in our group dealing with protein modelling, simulations and desing. Check the here: www.iqac.csic.es/scholarship-...

From now on, I've decided to use @anthropic.com Claude instead of openAI ChatGPT. I think that standing by ethical principles to defend democratic values is worth this little effort.

Now I mainly work with biomolecules, but atmospheric chemistry is where I started and few people realize the atmosphere also has a kind of metabolism, with feedback cycles and day-night changing fluxes. Sad that this line is discontinued at the IQAC @CSIC pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Forging young minds for the hard world of research. Thanks @publishgame.bsky.social for such a useful tool 😉

You’ve got a nanobody that binds a small molecule, but you’re not quite sure about its structure or its binding site? Can you trust AlphaFold 3? Or is it better to use Boltz-2 or Chai-1? Does it even matter if your nanobody sequence is similar to ones used during the training of these tools?

I am happy to announce the release of NEMAT: An Automated Non-Equilibrium Free-Energy Framework for Predicting Ligand Affinity in Membrane Proteins. Nice work by Albert Ortega-Bartolomé. Preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202... Code: github.com/QTC-IQAC/NEM...

Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: systematic review of randomised controlled trials

Objectives To determine whether parachutes are effective in preventing major trauma related to gravitational challenge. Design Systematic review of randomised controlled trials. Data sources: Medline, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases; appropriate internet sites and citation lists. Study selection: Studies showing the effects of using a parachute during free fall. Main outcome measure Death or major trauma, defined as an injury severity score > 15. Results We were unable to identify any randomised controlled trials of parachute intervention. Conclusions As with many interventions intended to prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised controlled trials. Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data. We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute.
