Excited to share our most recent article on Picornaviral IRES. Here, we determined the crystal structure of Type I IRES RNA (domain V) and identified structural homology among eIF4G-binding domains of different IRES types. https://t.co/Hjrsq9UiNY

New paper alert! Congratulations to Manju Ojha et al. We have shown how structural plasticity of RRE modulates nuclear export of HIV -1 RNAs.

Mutation-driven RRE stem-loop II conformational change induces HIV-1 nuclear export dysfunction https://t.co/OHtdXfh32k

@CameronLabUNC @UMBC @HHMINEWS It was a great pleasure to host you and learn about your research, Dr Cameron.

We are excited to report the discovery of TIGRs, a widely-occurring RNA-guided system found in bacteria and their viruses. TIGRs consist of a peculiar repeat region which is transcribed into RNA and processed into multiple guide RNAs to direct TIGR-associated proteins to their DNA targets. https://t.co/ketXqFVQqw

We created SynthID, a robust digital watermarking technology to tag & identify AI-generated content. Now we’re open-sourcing SynthID-Text so developers can use it to embed & detect watermarks in text outputs from their own LLMs. Published today in @Nature https://t.co/0gKcjoNHqS

We’re presenting AlphaProteo: an AI system for designing novel proteins that bind more successfully to target molecules. 🧬

It could help scientists better understand how biological systems function, save time in research, advance drug design and more. 🧵 https://t.co/lx35RvplFr

@Brixius_Simone Congratulations!

[Sudhamsu @sudhamsuj]

Thrilled to share a pre-print describing an elegant solution to overcome target size limitation of single particle #cryoEM, where we demonstrate high resolution (2.3 – 2.5 Å) structure determination of small (~20 kDa) ordered proteins using cryoEM! https://t.co/FwLVozpT8G
