This Visual-omics approach is kind of amazing: "We resolved each to sufficient resolution (2.8 and 3.6 Å) to predict the amino acid composition directly from the 3D electrostatic potential map"

My first manuscript in MPI colours! With @tothpetroczylab.bsky.social, we show that AlphaFold PAE-derived contact probabilities are well calibrated to the fraction of true interface contacts across experimentally determined protein dimers. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

$Two-panel calibration plot (two benchmark dimer datasets) comparing predicted interchain contact-probability bins (x-axis) with the observed fraction of native interfacial contacts (y-axis). Points follow the diagonal, indicating close agreement between predicted probabilities and true interface-contact fractions.$

🌀 We solved the structure for T. denticola periplasmic flagella! I'm very happy to finally showcase this work. A huge collaborative effort between myself, @bindusmitapaul.bsky.social, @debnathghosal.bsky.social, Jack Kim, @banfieldlab.bsky.social, Eric Reynolds and the Chris Fenno lab. 🦠 Enjoy!

📣 New paper alert! This is a story of molecular tricks that let spirochetes (spiral-shaped bacteria) drill through tissue. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🌀 How do spirochete bacteria swim through thick fluids like champions? We solved T. denticola flagella structure - asymmetric proteins expand one side, compress the other for perfect corkscrew motion! @debnathghosal.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/202... #StructuralBiology #CryoEM #Microbiology
