I'm working on some server changes for tryptag.org, you might see missing data (particularly missing images)... But don't worry, it will all be up again soon!


After a hiatus, the discoba lineage-optimised Alphafold2 structure predictions are back up! Get your improved Trypanosoma and Leishmania structure predictions here. Try out the Google Colab iPython notebook (and let me know if you have any problems) colab.research.google.com/github/zephyri…

A new paper from @HymanLab @Zephyris reports that a small molecule lipoamide dissolves stress granules by targeting SFPQ, a redox-sensitive disordered protein, benefiting ALS models nature.com/articles/s4158…


Having spent an afternoon developing some models with Google AI Studio, Ted Chiang seems more prescient than ever. It's only about a page, worth reading right now! nature.com/articles/35014…


This project wouldn't have been possible without the inputs from the expertise at @dewpoint_tx, and proves intrinsically disordered domains as a small molecule target nature.com/articles/s4158…

“It’s sad if someone spends four years researching and publishes a paper and then has a figure that is not fully understandable. It will reduce the readership.” @Sara_Reardon talks with @MicrobiomDigest @HelenaKJambor @Image_Integrity. go.nature.com/4m9J20x


Small molecule targeting intrinsically disordered protein domains to help neurodegeneration, really great to finally have this collab with @HymanLab out! nature.com/articles/s4158…


Chipping away at mysteries of parasite swimming. How do proteins at the base of the flagellum control beat waveform which start at the tip? nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to be part of this exciting project on Leishmania and Crithidia doublet microtubule structures. Thanks to my two amazing PIs @RuiZhangWUSTL @PolinaLishko and our fabulous collaborators @alanbrownhms lab, @Gluenzlab lab, and @Zephyris lab🎉🎉🎉

Another wonderful collaboration with @alanbrownhms lab. The Zhang lab together with @PolinaLishko lab (co-first author @QingweiN) contribute the doublet microtubule structure from Crithidia fasciculata, a model organism that infects mosquitoes. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Just reviewed a paper and one of the other reviewer's comments were clearly AI generated... Anyone seen that before?

🧵 Have you heard of leishmaniasis? This neglected tropical disease affects 700,000 to 1 million people each year, mostly in low-income communities. It’s caused by Leishmania parasites, spread by sandflies. It has three main forms ⤵️ [1/6]
