Very interesting work by Dorothy Kern and @hkws.bsky.social. They look at what's missing in NMR assignments, and use it to train a deep learning model for predicting protein dynamics. Clever approach! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My answer: xtallization in vitro can't predict xtallization in cells as: 1) The crystallising object is different in cells (binding, PTMs, etc.) 2) Cytosol and crystallisation buffer are distinct solvents For precisely the same reasons, LLPS in this assay does not predict LLPS in vivo

Research in Nature Astronomy identifies a type of sugar made of four carbon atoms, called erythrulose, near the centre of the Milky Way galaxy. The finding indicates that complex, biologically relevant molecules can form in space. go.nature.com/4vZvbOB 🔭🧪

This week I was informed that my promotion to professor has been approved!! For various reasons (moving continents…) this step took a while. One aspect was the (unexpected to me) large emphasis on the numbers of supervised PhD students in the Dutch academic system.

It's nice when you benchmark your own method and find it good. But its even nicer when others benchmark your method and find it good. Figure from: Coarse-grained simulations of long intrinsically disordered proteins: a benchmark of Martini 3 force-fields doi.org/10.64898/202...
