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...

The helium shortage is now unavoidable. Another wonderful follow-on to the Iran War, and if you think helium doesn’t matter much, think again:

Hidden water’s influence on rhodopsin activation
Structural biology relies on several powerful techniques, but these tend to be limited in their ability to characterize protein fluctuations and mobility. Overreliance on structural approaches can lead to omission of critical information regarding biological function. Currently there is a need for complementary biophysical methods to visualize these mobile aspects of protein function. Here, we review hydrostatic and osmotic pressure-based techniques to address this shortcoming for the paradigm of rhodopsin.

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field
