Protein structure prediction with in-cell photo-crosslinking mass spectrometry and deep learning
MainAlphaFold2 has shown unprecedented performance in CASP14, the Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction1,2,3, predicting two-thirds of the CASP targets with an approximately 1 Å root-mean-square deviation (r.m.s.d.) from the native backbone path4. This success, together with the reliable metrics provided by AlphaFold2 regarding the predicted accuracy of its models, is a tremendous achievement whose impact
High-plex protein and whole transcriptome co-mapping at cellular resolution with spatial CITE-seq
MainSpatially resolved transcriptome sequencing has generated biological insights in the study of cell differentiation and tissue development1,2,3 but does not yet incorporate measurements of large protein panels. Previously, we developed microfluidic deterministic barcoding in tissue (DBiT) for co-mapping of whole transcriptome and a panel of 22 proteins at the cellular level (~10-µm pixel size) using
AI-enhanced protein design makes proteins that have never existed
Protein engineers are drawing on rapidly evolving machine learning tools, deep reservoirs of data, and the structure-predicting firepower of AlphaFold2 to pursue more sophisticated de novo protein designs. On 26 January, Profluent came out of stealth mode with $9 million in seed funding to support the company’s efforts to apply machine learning (ML) to engineer
Toxic protein linked to muscular dystrophy and arhinia
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues have found that a toxic protein made by the body called DUX4 may be the cause of two very different rare genetic disorders. For patients who have facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), or a rare facial malformation called arhinia, this research discovery
