Excited to share our latest with @birtehoecker.bsky.social: CANVAS, a de novo enzyme design strategy that builds active sites by adding tailored lids to minimal TIM barrels. Several designs reached kcat values of 13–26 s⁻¹, on par with the median natural enzyme. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The TIM barrel is nature’s most versatile enzyme fold, yet de novo variants lack functional active sites. Minimal de novo TIM barrels have now been converted into enzymes by designing structural lids ...

Hi @pestofasta.bsky.social unfortunately, this paper from Jain et al. contains falsehoods, misleading comparisons, seemingly deliberate omissions, and is written in a tone not intended as a serious research paper. Please see our detailed response: www.linkedin.com/pulse/respon...

That’s really good to know. But here DiffDock performance on the uncontaminated test set is compared to the other techniques performance on the contaminated test set. Uncontaminated vs uncontaminated would be fairer. (’Complete Clean Test Set’ is still contaminated if I read correctly.)
