BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

[Stéphane Lemaire @SLemaire75]

I am thrilled to present the Paris Biofoundry to the World. A distributed Biofoundry for high-throughout engineering of bacteria, yeast, microalgae, mammalian cells, and Cell-free systems. #biofoundry #Synbio

[DAO Ousmane @ousmanebahdao]

Our preprint on the interplay between algal CO2 concentrating mechanism and photorespiration is now available.
We have identified LCI20 as a new player in algal photorespiration that delivers amino groups for mitochondrial glycolate metabolism. https://t.co/8CVLuuaPMj

[René Inckemann @rene_inckemann]

Excited to share my first corresponding & co-first author paper with @clemens_bohm! We developed cell-free extracts from chloroplasts of various plant species for rapid prototyping, accelerating #plantSynBio in chloroplasts. 🌿 Check it out!

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial https://t.co/Gs4GoOB3fD

[Jan Kosinski @jankosinski]

AlphaFold3 is insane. MutS protein (green) recognizes base mismatches in DNA (gray), after which it slides off to find MutL matchmaker protein (blue), which positions and activates MutH nuclease (pink) to nick a hemimethylated GATC sequence (red) to activate removal and repair of the mismatched strand.
