Very excited to share our latest preprint describing the isolation and characterization of neutralizing HCoV-229E-directed antibodies from a human donor! Great collaboration between DHVI and the Baric and Sheahan (@timothysheahan.bsky.social) labs at UNC.

A neutralizing human antibody induces movement of the HCoV-229E receptor binding domain
HCoV-229E is an endemic Alphacoronavirus that typically causes common cold-like disease in most healthy adults, but can also cause severe respiratory disease in the very young and the elderly. Althoug...

✨✨ It's #glycotime for #HIV Env ✨✨

N-linked glycans modulate flexibility & MPER epitope exposure #glycotime

Huge effort by @shehata92.bsky.social @lcasalino88.bsky.social with cryoET of Env in VLPs by @thevillalab.bsky.social & team 💪

Would love feedback!

We've updated the Raygun preprint with additional validations (more fluorescence assays, biotin ligase reengineering, EGF optimization etc.) Take a look!

Here's the preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Miniaturizing, Modifying, and Magnifying Nature's Proteins with Raygun
Proteins have evolved over billions of years through extensive and coordinated substitutions, insertions and deletions (indels). Computational protein design cannot yet fully mimic nature's ability to...

Nevertheless, we persisted ❤️

📣 NEW BIORXIV ALERT!! 🚨

Using WE MD, linguistic pathway clustering, dynamical network analyses, and HDXMS we reveal a hidden allosteric network within the SARS2 spike S1 domain and predict how the D614G mutation impacts this network!

D614G reshapes allosteric networks and opening mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 spikes
The SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein binds human epithelial cells and enables infection through a key conformational transition that exposes its receptor binding domain (RBD). Experimental evidence indic...
