Have a look at the outstanding speakers and programme, and use the link to join the 2nd edition of the Computational Structural Biology Conference in Heidelberg!

Check out HMFF and Mosaic on GitHub: (7/n)
🔗 github.com/KosinskiLab/...

HMFF comes with Mosaic, a software ecosystem for membrane segmentation, refinement, HMFF simulations, and morphometrics. (6/n) 🔗https://github.com/KosinskiLab/mosaic

For example, it allows building models like this filamentous influenza A virion ⬇️ (5/n)

HMFF aids in on-membrane particle picking, supports multiscale modeling, and allows backmapping to atomic detail (4/n)

This enables physically realistic and complete membrane models of cells, organelles, and viruses, consistent with experimental data (3/n)

Helfrich Monte Carlo Flexible Fitting (HMFF) optimizes membrane models directly in electron microscopy densities (2/n)

New method toward modeling cells and viruses! HMFF enables integrative membrane modeling and simulation guided by electron microscopy data. Created by Valentin Maurer and Marc Siggel @embl.org ‪‪@cssbhamburg.bsky.social‬, in collaboration with @WPezeshkian lab (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Are you a postdoc ready for transition to an independent position? You connect infection biology with cutting-edge structural biology or multimodal imaging? Are you aware of such a colleague?

I am seeking speakers for "The Next Generation in Infection Biology" microsymposium on June 6 2025.

28 children spent the day at CSSB for Girls' and Boys' Day yesterday! The kids built microscopes, conducted chemistry and chromatography experiments, tried VR goggles and much more.

Snapshot of in-cell protein contact sites reveals new host factors and hijacking of paraspeckles during influenza A virus infection Influenza A virus (IAV) exploits the host cellular machinery to facilitate its replication, yet many host-IAV interactions remain unexplored in the cellular context. Detailed information about interac...

Great work led by our PhD student Iuliia Kotova in collaboration with Fan Liu @fan-liu.bsky.social, Boris Bogdanow, Lars Mühlberg, and Olivier Duss @olivierduss.bsky.social and Guelsah Gabriel labs. Structural analysis by our PhD student Konstantin Gilep.

We captured a snapshot of in-cell protein contact sites during influenza A virus infection. In-cell crosslinking, AlphaFold modeling, and functional follow-ups revealed new host factors and mechanisms. A step toward modeling the infected cell.

Sorry Albert, I can't have coffee with you today because time is relative, and mine just ran out. #chatgpt4o

yeah, it went bananas

Draw a ribbon representation of a protein structure shaped like a banana, with alpha-helices, beta-sheets, and loops clearly visible, maintaining realistic molecular geometry and coloring styles typical for protein visualizations.

Join us in Heidelberg for the 2nd edition of #EMBOComp3D! 🧬

Explore cutting-edge AI-driven innovations and classical methods in biomolecular research, new sessions on drug design, and make contacts during the job fair. Submit your abstract by 26 Aug 👉 s.embl.org/csb25-01-bl

⏰ You have until 3 March to submit your abstract and be part of #EESInfection ➡️ https://s.embl.org/ees25-04-bl

🦠 🍄 This symposium will bring together researchers working on different pathogens and pave the way for new strategies to overcome current challenges in the treatment of infections 💡

"We demonstrate that current co-folding approaches largely memorise ligand poses from their training data, hindering their use for de novo drug design."

PDB-IHM (formerly PDB-Dev) is for integrative structures.

Intergrative structures = from multiple experimental & computational methods.
Since mid-2024 assigned PDB ids & DOIs.

Conclusion for ligand session in #casp16, without a template methods fail

bsky.app/profile/jank...

Does anyone know of published test cases I can use to evaluate the approach? Ideally, the test case would feature a structure published after 30 September 2021, fail with AlphaFold3, and include real crosslinking data.

We still need to see how it generalizes and compares to other tools, but it feels promising, also from looking at results in our running projects!
