How do PTMs affect the binding of small molecule drugs to their target proteins? Great to see @dereklowe.bsky.social highlight the recent paper by the group of @chrisgparker.bsky.social in "In the Pipeline". Blog post: www.science.org/content/blog... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/4)

How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller? Excited to share our latest work in @science.org on a new small polymerase. 1/n

A small polymerase ribozyme that can synthesize itself and its complementary strand
The emergence of a chemical system capable of self-replication and evolution is a critical event in the origin of life. RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but their large size and structural ...

Kraemer et al. use machine learning to model epidemics more efficiently. Their work shows faster forecasting, better handling of incomplete data, and more accurate infection estimates, pointing to improved global health decision making. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share our latest work identifying that #SARSCoV2 #Omicron variants harboring an L260F mutation in NSP6 have enhanced replication and pathogenesis. A not so brief thread 🧵
