Transthyretin’s structural asymmetry & “molecular breathing” drive its misfolding in ATTR—a discovery by Prof. Gabriel Lander (@LanderLab) & Prof. Jeff Kelly, published in @NatureSMB, that could inform new therapies for amyloid diseases. More: https://t.co/5iZXZBYd6G
Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we explore how small molecules like PF74 and IP6 impact capsid stability. Our findings reveal that the tilt angle between neighboring hexamers plays a role in modulating stability, with implications for viral disassembly mechanisms.
Are you struggling to model your ligand into x-ray crystallography or cryo-EM density? Trying to dock a novel ligand into a well-studied target but just cannot get the pharmacophore position correct? Running a virtual screening and want to optimize your hit rate? (1/4)
CryoXKit uses ligand density from x-ray crystallography and/or cryo-EM to guide dockings with AutoDock, resulting in better pose prediction and improved virtual screening performance across multiple systems. You can find the new tool now on GitHub: https://t.co/NsHOmJvfR8

Congratulations to Dr. @Batuujin for successfully defending his thesis yesterday! We are so proud of you and your work in our lab and in @WardLab1 . We can only look forward to the amazing science you will continue to do! #otop#sour_zebrafish
Ringtail is available as an open-source package on PyPi, conda-forge, or by downloading and installing source code directly from GitHub (https://t.co/jW7qYFhdc8). Installation instructions, usage examples, and extensive documentation are available here https://t.co/cn7vswez3E
Buried under a pile of docking data and not sure where to go next? Ringtail 2 will help you organize, filter, and visualize docking data via an easy-to-use command line tool, or integrated in your #python scripts using the brand new API! #autodockgpu#autodockvina
