I, and every scientist I've talked to, believe the end result of this devastating cut will be that Universities will simply pass on the buck to investigators. Many of us fervently agree that university administrations & bureaucracy should be downsized and reformed. This maneuver is going to do nothing to actually instigate that change, it is simply going to result in a giant DIRECT cut to biomedical science in this country that is going to cripple science, lead to layoffs of hardworking students and postdocs with big dreams who are the country's future, and destroy this country's scientific pre-eminence. I personally find it hard to fathom how Elon Musk and pals, who clearly understand the value and beauty of science deeply, could not see this endgame and...hesitate. This is matricide. @shaunmmaguire @elonmusk

@YudaChen_ucsf Very interesting work! Congrats!

This is part of our ongoing series on predicting enzyme chemistry from protein sequences. Stay tuned for a more comprehensive study on this topic, led by Dr. Wenqiang Cui! @J_A_C_S

Our #SERMACS2024 symposium "the Role of Data and Modeling in Life Processes" is off to a great start organized with @ZhongyueY, Qianyi Cheng @memphis_chem @VanderbiltChem. @cd_sherrill @kamerlinlab and @EvoCatalysis crushed it as the first set of speakers! @sermacs2024 1/2

@WGuangqi @OxfordChemistry @MSCActions Good luck, guangqi!

Alphafold3's five models aren't effective; here's model 0. For accurate predictions with RoseTTAFoldNA, we must utilize the Toprim domain to narrow down the solution space. Using the full-length protein doesn't yield results either.

[Wenjun Xie @EvoCatalysis]

A DP that RoseTTAFoldNA outperforms Alphafold3 in predicting protein-DNA complex. We worked on Gabija https://t.co/W7FCv4mQli The structure predicted by RoseTTAFoldNA closely matches the later-released cryo-EM structure! https://t.co/Sy0pYtXPkC

Led by the Shao group at @UofOklahoma, we extended the idea of energy decomposition analysis to QM/MM free energy calculations for enzyme-catalyzed reactions recently. Great pleasure to be part of this work: https://t.co/nywdJUvgUc
