Flabby, flexible, and full of potential: Researchers at HITS and @mpip-mainz.mpg.de have developed a #machinelearning model that designs flexible proteins – even with rare patterns. A leap toward next-gen enzymes, therapeutics & sustainable biotech! 🌱💊🔬

Want your de novo designed protein to be wobbly? 🍮 Seva, Leif & team have made it possible - you find them at ICML! 🤩 @mpip-mainz.mpg.de @hitsters.bsky.social

1/6 One of the key features of functional proteins is their inherent structural flexibility. In our recent work at #ICML, we introduce flexibility to protein structure design! More in a thread below.

A while online now already: Predict the barrier of a reaction without knowing the transition state and in the low data regime using Gaussian Process regr.

Led by Evgeni Ulanov, with Ghulam, Kai and Pascal Friederich @ KIT.

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)
NeurIPS participation in Europe
We seek to understand if there is interest in being able to attend NeurIPS in Europe, i.e. without travelling to San Diego, US. In the following, assume that it is possible to present accepted papers ...

Wondering how to predict protein flexibility in a sec? No time to run MD simulations but want to go beyond pLDDT? Check out BBFlow

Useful in particular for de novo designs.

Curious about how Machine Learning and Molecular Simulations are used to model Protein Dynamics?

Then watch our HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium with Cecilia Clementi @cecclementi.bsky.social which is now available on our YouTube channel.

Don't miss our next HITS-SIMPLAIX Joint Colloquium on 10 February at 2:00 PM CET! Cecilia Clementi @cecclementi.bsky.social will talk about Modeling Protein Dynamics with Machine Learning and Molecular Simulation. Sign up ow.ly/h0Wl50UQ2kX to join via Zoom or just come by. @simplaix.bsky.social

Thanks! If you talk metal ions you will need to train it for such systems, we haven't. Others got in touch with us that use it for this purpose - happily so far I think ;-)

This was a very interesting paper to help supervise because it’s a totally different way to think about DNA structure, and uses a sequencer in a very creative way to understand DNA breakage. Check it out! 🧬
