The biggest reason we don't actually have a "replication crisis" is that science is a process of advancing what's working, and not fixing what hasn't. Sometimes it's slow, and we backtrack a bit. But it's never stalled.
That said, the strain on scientific publishing is generating a lot of crap.
OpenAI just updated ChatGPT to be able to use RDKit, a cheminformatics Python package.
OpenAI's president says this makes ChatGPT "useful for scientific work across health, biology, and chemistry," but it is hilariously still not good at chemistry (🧵)

I was starting to think I was the only one having this self-forwarding glitch 😆. @bsky.app really needs to sort it out.

If anyone has any tips for fellowships or grants or giftfunds our group can apply for (in the US), please send our way.
So far, we've not had much luck in raising funds... 💰 In this relatively popular area, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong 😅

Any recommendations for a membrane dye compatible with HCR/smFISH?
The growth in the number of articles outpaces the growth of the scientific community. Changing policies might address the issue, but can it really make an impact?
Is it possible we’re reaching a critical point and a revolution in scientific publishing practices?

I'm organizing a Keystone symposium, along with Liz Kellogg and @possuhuanglab.bsky.social, on machine learning and macromolecules. Mar 23-26 in Keystone, Colorado. We have a great lineup and deadlines are coming up soon!
Over 60 German universities quit social media platform X.
Platform accused of failing to uphold values of diversity, freedom, and scholarship.
Do you remember rewinding the tape with a pen? I truly miss how physical the art was, and how hard we had to work sometimes to get access to it. Really made you appreciate things more.
MIT researchers introduce Boltz-1, a fully open-source model for predicting biomolecular structures
With models like AlphaFold3 limited to academic research, the team built an equivalent alternative, to encourage innovation more broadly

We are still looking for a postdoc (we actually have enough funds for two!) to work on this promising project.

MD simulations of K+ ions permeation through the MthK potassium channel, done at +150 mV. We developed and applied optimized ion parameters within the Electronic Continuum Correction (ECC) framework. The simulated current quantitatively matches the experimental one.

AMARO: All Heavy-Atom Transferable Neural Network Potentials of Protein Thermodynamics
A novel machine-learning-based force field for protein thermodynamics. It uses an all-heavy-atom approach without hydrogens to simplify simulations while maintaining key dynamics.

Although reweighted ABSINTH was calibrated based on experimental data, it was not the approach I had in mind.
I believe this manuscript is the perfect answer for my question, thank you!
(and thanks for joining in)
Thank you for the detailed answer!
Do you think that the data from your experimental setup can be directly used to train DNNs, similar to @alexholehouse.bsky.social ALBATROSS, or @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social CALVADOS (which were trained on experimental data but through CG simulations)?
🙋♀️
Very interesting paper!
Do you think using only one peptide and mutating it incrementally can suggest additional size-sequence dependencies?
I almost exclusively use ChimeraX, which gives me the FOMO on not figuring out #MolecularNodes
Hey, @bsky.app, @support.bsky.team how about a #CatchThemAll tab in the profile listing all the starter packs the profile is a part of?
This is fascinating! It seems that NovumRNA might not only function as a standalone tool for designing treatments but could also be valuable for understanding why certain treatments may have been ineffective. Could it potentially be integrated into standard analysis protocols in drug testing?
Looks like Bryan Dickinson isn’t here yet so I’m cross posting his challenge:
“if you or someone you know thinks they can actually predict PPIs, prove it. Here is a link to our blinded protein sequence data”

Hi Bluesky! I made a 3D chromatin starter pack.
Let me know if you would like to be added.
