Structure of human TRPC5 in complex with the plant nature product (-)-englerin A

We are proud to share our latest preprint: "(-)-Englerin A binds a conserved lipid site of TRPC5 and exposes a Met-aromatic motif in channel activation".

Here with my group for the Inaugural lecture of Prof Paul Cox

New preprint: TS2CG version 2, building and simulating membranes with any shape and lateral organisation. We got Martini Globe, Martini Möbius strip and again mitochondrion.

It's the last round of "Eye Spy a Biophysicist"! This scientist studied human tolerance to centrifugal acceleration, and once led the biophysics and bioastronautics division of the US Navy’s thermal lab.

Comment your guess and tune in later to find out the answer! #BiophysicsWeek

@gonzprat.bsky.social If you could go back ~25 yrs, to the time you started your independent lab. in Argentina, what would you do differently? #BioAMA2025

We are live with @gonzprat.bsky.social! Feel free to ask him any questions that you have related to biophysics using #BioAMA2025

@gonzprat.bsky.social What motivated you to pursue an academic career?

We're hosting an Ask Me Anything about Biophysics on Bluesky today with BPS Ambassador Alumnus Gonzalo de Prat Gay! Tweet your questions with #BiophysicsAMA and tune in at 11am USA Eastern time.

Today with @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social we're organizing the Biophysics Week "Ask Me Anything" featuring Prof. Gonzalo de Prat Gay @gonzprat.bsky.social from Fundación Instituto Leloir in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A few more days to apply for postdoctoral positions in my group. We investigate :

- tau amyloid formation at a molecular level

- tau LLPS

- tau-spliceosome interaction in tauopathies.

I am so sorry to hear this. Disgusting.

Large scale investigation of GPCR molecular dynamics data uncovers allosteric sites and lateral gateways - Nature Communications GPCR dynamics are critical for signal transmission into the cell. Here, the authors probe receptor plasticity using molecular dynamics simulations, enabling the detection of allosteric sites and drug ...

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Watching POTUS/VP torch any remaining EU goodwill towards the US was just sad.

Took a nice walk around Westminster and came across this fine statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

More cuts to NIH & apparently folks who stay dealing with stuff like this. They don't even make enough to put up with such nonsense!

Please hang in there NIH, NSF, & other federal folks! We're so grateful for all you do ❤️‍🩹

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

Today we have published BioEmu-Benchmarks (MIT license): a code to evaluate the multi-conformation sampling benchmarks, MD free energy landscape benchmarks, and folding free energy benchmarks shown in the BioEmu-1 paper with BioEmu or your own model. Some details below 🧵

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay.

They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence!
