    I'm excited to share that I'll be joining @MITBiology as an Asst Prof. in Jan 2024! Come join us! 🤓🧪🖥️🧬

    For my latest attempt at introducing proteins to students, I made a Google Colab Notebook that predicts proteins from a single sequence. I asked the students to tweak the sequence to get a helix or two helices or... (1/5) colab.research.google.com/github/sokrypt…

    Excited to see colabfold published! nature.com/articles/s4159… Special thanks to @thesteinegger and @milot_mirdita (for MMseqs2) without whom I would have never considered to preprint let alone attempt to publish our notebook! (1/3)

    AlphaFold inverted to hallucinate denovo proteins of up to 600 amino acids in length🤯 (animation below shows the designed protein docked into CryoEM density) Exciting work with: @chrisfrank662, @AKhoshouei, Yosta de Stigter, Dominik Schiewitz, @ShihaoFeng18, @hendrik_dietz

    Ever wondered how many amino acids you can mutate to alanine and AlphaFold2 still predicts same structure? 🤔For denovo design Top7 (1QYS), single-sequence mode, it's 60%. (1/2)

    AlphaFold3 reproduced and params/code released. 🤩
    Technical Report of HelixFold3 for Biomolecular Structure Prediction The PaddleHelix research team at Baidu have released their AlphaFold3 replication under an open-source noncommercial license. Performance approaches that of AlphaFold3. abs: arxiv.org/abs/2408.16975 website:

    Successfully predicted one of the @foldit denovo designs using #alphafold in google-colab😎 (1 model, no template, single sequence input, and no amber refine, ~2 mins). Notebook if anybody wanna try input your favorite sequence: colab.research.google.com/drive/1qWO6Arw…

    Ok. I'm sold. 🤓 Prompt "implement dynamic programming in NumPy to align two sequences"

    We've been working on adding AlphaFold v2.3.1 support to ColabFold. 😎 Here is the notebook for those interested in testing: colab.research.google.com/github/sokrypt… (1/5)
