What if AI could invent enzymes that nature hasn’t seen? 👩🔬🧑🔬
Introducing 🪩 DISCO: Diffusion for Sequence-structure CO-design
📝 Blog: disco-design.github.io
📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.05181
💻 Code: github.com/DISCO-design...
Such an incredible journey building DISCO 🪩. Love working with this team. DISCO is a co-design model with functional, de novo, new-to-nature enzymes. Huge shoutout to my co-authors for making this a reality! 🚀👇
“It’s a waste of energy and there is nothing there”. Sounds like a very apt description of the newspaper where she writes.

📢 We’re launching Proteina-Complexa — and after the Jensen keynote mention, we definitely had to post this thread now ;)
Atomistic binder design with generative pretraining + test-time compute, plus large-scale wet-lab validation.

Bodley Medal (obverse)
Gruffalo (obverse)
Children’s author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler are this year’s recipients of the Bodley Medal, the highest honour awarded by the Bodleian Libraries. Previous winners of the Bodley Medal include Hilary Mantel, Kazuo Ishiguro and Zadie Smith.
You asked, we listened. Millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures are now available in the #AlphaFold Database.
This spans homodimers from 20 of the most studied species, including humans, as well as the World Health Organization’s priority pathogens list.

Then, the lexical choices (a caffe committing “high-street aggression” with all their arsenal of homicidal rolls and assault buns would be comical in a different context) just shows how completely cuckoo are the Guardian comrades and their defenders.
When in 2011 Putin introduced a ban on EU food import, there was still a necessity to justify it to the population—which Russian propaganda attempted to do with terms like “killer cucumbers”. The lexicon of the abominable Guardian piece is similar.
Thanks, I have the habit of reading articles I comment about. I don’t know what is more disgraceful here: the mundane antisemitism permeating it that has become not only normal but fashionable in this country, or the unwanted commentators rushing to explain antisemitism to Jews.
You can quote one sentence before, or one after, or rearrange this piece into a crossword: this is Der Stürmer for university graduates, and various academics or, god forbid, career human right activists are trying to convince there is nothing to see here.
Pink magnolia blossoms frame Magdalen Tower against a bright blue sky, with warm spring sunlight illuminating the stone facade and neatly trimmed gardens below.
A magnolia tree in full bloom stands beside stone steps and traditional lanterns at Balliol College, its pink flowers contrasting with the historic golden buildings.
Magnolia branches covered in pink blossoms stretch across the foreground, partially framing the main tower and gardens of Mansfield College under a partly cloudy sky.
Sunlit magnolia branches hang over the arched entrance at New College, casting soft shadows on the textured stone walls and windows beneath.
Magnolia season has arrived in Oxford 🌸

Otherworldly misty morning in Chisapani forest on a Marwari stallion in a dreamy photo that looks unreal. If equestrian paradise exists, it should look something like this.
That’s the same horse I rode last time there
