Every electron counts⚛️! Researchers have determined the structure of the protein rubredoxin at an unprecedented 0.43 Ångström resolution. The method could now allow routine quantum crystallography of biological macromolecules. 👇More about this major advancement: www.mpinat.mpg.de/5314392/rn_2...

The image shows a valence electron deformation map of archaeal rubredoxin at 0.43 Ångström resolution: Refinement of the archaeal rubredoxin structure with the DiSCaMB transferable aspherical atom model (TAAM) library connected to BUSTER directly reveals quantum mechanical phenomena. The rubredoxin protein model (sticks) is surrounded by the electron density map (blue to red: low to high density). This valence electron deformation map derived from model refinement reveals electrons in the midpoint of chemical bonds and (valence) electron lone pairs.

A sad day. Ada's pioneering work on the ribosome changed how we understand one of the central machines of life. She is a remarkable example of curiosity and boldness in pursuing questions that seemed impossible. Her scientific courage and persistence has been an inspiration.

How do African trypanosomes regulate the complement system? Check out our new study from @BiochemCook, in which he identified a new trypanosome receptor which binds to the core C3bBb convertase of the complement system and blocks its activity. Real all about it! doi.org/10.64898/202...

We posted a new preprint, Prot-LAMBDA. Unlike most protein language models, it is a pLM with an explicit encoding of protein structures. Strong performance in structure-related tasks including structure prediction. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I’ve been really excited by conferences that aim to combine techniques across scales, as I think it’s what’s current and future for #structbio. If you get excited by the same, here is an upcoming structural biology/computation/imaging conference at Keystone 👇🏾
