  1. 🧬 Can salt levels change how cell-penetrating peptides behave at membranes?

    🔗 Molecular dynamics simulations unveil the aggregation patterns and salting out of polyarginines at zwitterionic POPC bilayers in solutions of various ionic strengths. Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2024.11

  2. 👨‍🔬🔍 Apparently, the secret to protein folding was hiding in the 400 Bad Request error all along! Who knew server security policies were the key to solving scientific mysteries? 🧪🔒

    Veritasium just released a great video of #ProteinFolding algorithms and #AlphaFold as part of the story.

    The Veritasium team releases some of the best science videos around: accessible, clear and accurate. It's a great service to communicate this breakthrough to everyone.

    P.S. shame about the anthropomorphic hype at the end

  4. On this note: are you interested in #tech, #selfHosting, #science, #computationalScience, #HPC, #liberatoryTech, or just #POSIX in general but otherwise lack the resources, financial or otherwise? Get in touch with me and we can have a chat about maybe getting you some time. I can't promise when things will be ready or how much I can offer, but.

    No generative AI training, please. 'Classic' ML that doesn't generate trash, contribute to surveillance, or rely on stolen data is fine though.

    EDIT: please feel free to boost! DMs for initial contact are fine; while I run my server, I do
    not run yours so just a hello and a general area of interest are all I ask that you put in there. If you feel a project or interest is sensitive we can arrange another chat medium from there. I just wanna get a sense of who you are since I'll be, you know, letting you access the computer sitting in my office lmao.

    EDIT 2: I can also specifically help to some degree if you're interested in learning about
    #computationalChemistry, #proteinFolding, or running a few different types of #simulations.

    EDIT 3: If you're interested in writing/deploying/understanding
    #webDesign, #webTech, etc, that's also possible. I'm not trying to limit anything here, mostly just tagging with what things I know.

    EDIT 4: jesus christ Audrey. Anyway, "a sense of who you are" does NOT have to include personally identifying information. I mean much more informal and useful stuff than that, such as what you're interested in and wanna work on. I want you to get to know me a little bit, too, because we'll both need a degree of trust and if you feel you can't trust
    me then please don't force yourself to.

  5. Just watched a couple of brilliant YouTube videos by biologist Jake Brown

    New method expertly evaluates protein folding stability on a large scale

    eurekalert.org/news-releases/9 title of the paper in Nature isn't much clearer: Mega-scale experimental analysis of protein folding stability in biology and design, #science #nanoworld #ProteinFolding #ProteinStability #proteins

  7. re-#Introduction with new handle after move to fediscience.org #ScienceMastodon

    Hi, I'm Sven, a #structural #biochemist who recently moved from #Dundee, Scotland to #Boston, MA to start a #postdoc in the Brown lab at #HarvardMedicalSchool.

    Looking to build a network on here! 🤝 😄

  8. #introduction

    Hello! I'm an assistant professor at #Pitt. I do research on the molecular mechanisms of protein homeostasis in the retina. I also work in developing novel AAV systems with expanded capabilities.

    My interests are in #ProteinFolding, #proteostasis, #chaperones, #retina #AAV, #StructuralBiology, #Biophysics, #cryoEM, and #CRISPRi screens.
