"Congratulations to MB&B department chair, Dr. Enrique De La Cruz, for being inducted into the inaugural class of American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) Fellows. " Full story here: mbb.yale.edu/news/enrique-d…

We present ~2.8 A cryo-EM structures of actin alone and nucleotide-free (rigor) wild-type myosin-15 bound to F-actin, as well as wild-type myosin-15 in the ADP state (3.6 A) and the jordan mutant the rigor state (3.8 A) to investigate how myosin-15 regulates actin assembly.

Our latest paper about #microrobotic #crowdsurfing!! These #activecarpets can transport heavy objects and liquids amphibiously, like #cilia, and sort this cargo by size and shape. Congrats Ahmet Demirörs et al! doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

nice combination of biochemistry and fly genetics shows profilin can both promote actin polymerization and disassembly. binding to Mical-oxidized G-actin inhibits profilin's polyz'n activity disq.us/t/41a4mw1

We are looking for interns! Apply before October 4th. deepmind.com/careers/jobs/3…

Many single protein chains can be accurately predicted using AlphaFold, but multi-chain protein complexes remain challenging. Introducing AlphaFold-Multimer, a model that can predict the structure of multi-chain protein complexes with increased accuracy dpmd.ai/alphafold_mult… 1/

β- and γ-cytoplasmic actins have different translation rates in cells and exert different nucleotide coding sequence-dependent effects on cell migration elifesciences.org/articles/68712…

A factbook that’s organized by how expensive it is to verify each fact. The spectrum is like “you can observe this with your naked eye” → “you need a billion dollar Hadron Collider to know this”

I am excited to share a new study led by Shachar Givon & samina matan w/ Ohad Ben Shahar: Goldfish can learn to navigate a small robotic vehicle on land. We trained goldfish to drive a wheeled platform that reacts to the fish’s movement (authors.elsevier.com/a/1eEnubrwfBCwg).

I've put together a few of my favorite discussions on the details of doing molecular dynamics. I'll add more as they come. Hopefully they're useful to you! 🧵1/n
