Teach antibiotics tomorrow, happened to read this.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

In 1929, Alexander Fleming published his paper outlining the antibacterial properties of penicillin, and began the era of antibiotics.

Glad that AF is recognized by the Nobel, but “structures determined using AlphaFold2”is misleading, should say predicted instead of determined. Just worried that people will assume AF predicted structures are 100% accurate

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures.

Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance.

Every 6 seconds, someone dies from an antibiotic-resistant infection. Today, on day 242 of the year, over 3.2 million people have already been lost to #AMR. That's the equivalent of 85 plane crashes per day every day. Everybody should be talking about this.

Glad to share the second paper from my lab! We found LapB not only works as an adapter, but also regulates LpxC deacetylase activity.
