It's been three years since the revolutionary announcement of AlphaFold2, and @Chica_lab and I discuss at @NatureBiotech whether such a moment will take place in protein engineering too. Optimistic for the future - but with loads of challenges to address! nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

Happy to have one of my first projects at MSR out at @ProtEngDesSel! With @nc_znc and Hugh Yeh, we feed outputs from a pretrained masked language model into structure-GNN to learn a joint embedding for protein representation. academic.oup.com/peds/articl…

I'm excited to present @FrancPesce's work on developing, applying & testing a method to design intrinsically disordered proteins 🍝 While there has been much work on design methods for folded proteins, much less has been done for IDPs. 1/n doi.org/10.1101/2023.10.22.5…

Excellent work showing how a single mutation can lead to low-T thermoadaptation by changing protein rigidity! Am I spotting curved T-dependencies / negative activation heat capacities in the low-T adapted variants? 🧐❄️🥶
