Protein language models like ESM3 make it possible predict and design protein structures, but 1/3 of our proteome is unstructured. In collab. w/ Grant Rotskoff @grant.rotskoff.cc, Jason Liu created a PLM tuned specifically to generate biologically realistic IDRs: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

First preprint of the @pollyfordyce.bsky.social and @dunnlab.bsky.social collaboration! We used high-throughput microfluidics for sequence-strength mapping at the single-molecule level. Our new tech allowed us to discover a fundamental nonequilibrium property of multivalent systems. 1/13

Big congrats to @matt-dejong.bsky.social on his preprint! Matt's assay increases single-molecule biophysics throughput ~100x relative to typical approaches. This delightful collaboration with @pollyfordyce.bsky.social lab helps bring biophysics into the 'omics era. tinyurl.com/yvs54jds

1st catch-up post: Christina (now faculty, UCSD) used single-molecule imaging and theory to understand the mechanism of motility used by Apicomplexans, single-celled parasites that includes malaria. Read for: unusual cytoskeletal dynamics, active-matter theory www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Emergent actin flows explain distinct modes of gliding motility - Nature Physics

Unicellular parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, can use different forms of gliding motions when infecting a host. These motility modes arise from the self-organizing properties of filamentous actin ...
