New preprint with Kresten Lindorff-Larsen and Birthe B. Kragelund! Given the multitude and diversity of models to calculate the hydrodynamic radius of ensembles of IDPs, here we focus on identifying the most accurate one. Spoiler: it appears to be the Kirkwood-Riseman equation.

Meet the newest version of CALVADOS, our coarse-grained model for simulating intrinsically disordered proteins. CALVADOS 2 has been fully reparameterized and shows interesting effects from tuning long-range non-ionic interactions. Work by Giulio Tesei. 1/n doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…





Today marks the last day in our wonderful #BRAINSTRUC consortium on integrative structural biology. Funded by Lundbeckfonden in 2016 and involving Poul Nissen🇩🇰🇺🇦 Gregers Rom Andersen Lise Arleth Annette E Langkilde and (in the last years) also Birthe B. Kragelund, this has been a wonderful experience 🎉🙏

Why science needs a protein emoji 🍝 🧶 🥩 🫘 Read about the relentless work by Andrew White 🐦⬛ and my own minor role that led to the submission and rejection of a protein emoji doi.org/10.1038/d41586…


It was extremely nice to conclude this journey by discussing the results of my work with this fantastic committee. Thanks Henriette E Autzen, @jkoefinger and Alexander Buell!



.Francesco Pesce 's most recent paper is now published 📜 We studied the temperature-dependent 🌡️ conformational properties of the IDP Histatin 5 🍝 by combining enhanced sampling simulations with SAXS ⚡️, NMR 🧲 and CD 🤲 data doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…


Very proud to see the last (and largest) project carried out during my PhD finally out. Thanks to all contibutors and in particular to TanjaMittag and Structural Biology at St. Jude Children's Hospital for hosting me to run experiments on our designs.

We look forward to welcoming our #TWIN2PIPSA collaborators in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 next week for our first workshop If you're local, you are welcome to come and listen to the presentations by colleagues from University of Copenhagen Research. See programme for the talks below.
