This is a paper by Eleonora Ornati and Iiulia Ushakova that I am really proud of. Who would have thought that the well-known Glucose Oxidase is up for some surprises, i.e., that it initiates radical polymerizations without the need for initiators or activation by light!

🚀 AI meets nanobody engineering!

The group of Harald Kolmar @tuda.bsky.social developed a computational tool to predict aggregation propensities of single-domain immunoglobulins (VHHs), enabling faster discovery & humanization of stable recombinant nanobodies.

DLRN beats or matches classical fitting methods—without needing prior model assumptions.

It successfully decoded complex dynamics in:

transient absorption spectra,
DNA strand displacement circuits,
NV-center photoluminescence,
and even multi-scale kinetics split over ns to ms.

Great collaboration spearheaded by Nicolo Alagna with Susanne Gerber and Heinz Koeppl (@tuda.bsky.social). #CoM2Life #SFB1551
