AlphaFold Database is expanding into pandemic preparedness. Together with NVIDIA, DeepMind, EBI et al. we exhaustively predicted ~1.7 million homo- & heterodimers across 2,812 viral proteomes, resulting in 8,028 high-confidence predictions. 📄 research.nvidia.com/labs/dbr/ass... 🌐 alphafold.ebi.ac.uk

I'm excited to share our new preprint, where we show that fine-tuning gold nanoparticle conjugation to different Fab structural elements can produce powerful, rigidly coupled, labeling tools for in-situ cryo-ET. Take a look if you want to see an AuNP in an EM map!🔬🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
