This paper represents a great effort by @roman-bushuiev.bsky.social and his brother @anton-bushuiev.bsky.social. The DreaMS foundation model for mass spectra of small molecules now opens lots of avenues for possible downstream applications. It might be a game changer for computational metabolomics.

πŸ”₯ Benchmark Alert! MotifBench sets a new standard for evaluating protein design methods in motif scaffolding.
Why does this matter? Reproducibility & fair comparison have been lackingβ€”until now.

You may have seen a recent pre-print [1] from Jain et al. with strongly worded claims against the experimental results in our DiffDock paper [2]. We initially declined to respond as we saw that this preprint contained falsehoods, misleading comparisons, seemingly deliberate omissions, ...1/n

(2/2) ... say a diffusion trajectory then it's doing something you cannot achieve by rsyncing folders (or only *very* cumbersomely). I mostly use it to debug & sanity check my code whilst developing for example

(1/2) Good question! If you only use it to look at static pymol files that you saved out then yes, it's an alternative to rsyncing your hpc folder. If you use it to for example visualize in-RAM objects during code execution / debugging, or if you use it to manually dock something midway through ...

Thank you Greg! I actually found out about this functionality by using your fantastic RDKit package and very much based it on your RPC implementation there ( πŸ˜‰ see the 3. Credits section). I mainly added functionality to send back and forth application states and a wrapper command for ease of use

Cursor Built to make you extraordinarily productive, Cursor is the best way to code with AI.

Haha great point ^^ your milage varies but I've found Claude sonnet 3.5 via the cursor.com integration to work reasonably well -- the copilots then pick up patterns if there's already some sensible commands within the context

Cradle – Cradle raises $73M Series B to Put AI-Powered Protein Engineering in Every Lab News, updates, tutorials, and more from the makers of Cradle

✨ wheeeeee we raised a series B

AI-powered automated protein optimization: matches or exceeds human performance, works without human intervention. It's pretty cool :D

(PS if you're seriously good at ML eng then we're hiring)

As added bonus this allows you to use github copilot or cursor's copilot directly in pymol

My workflow:
I use GPUs on my university's cluster to run models, etc.
When I want to look at my designs, I open a pymol session on my laptop, log into the uni vpn and send the structures to my local remote from an interactive session on the cluster.

A weekend project from a while back -- this little package (with no dependencies) allows you to interact with pymol remotely.

I use it a lot for my protein design workflows together with @biotite.bsky.social.

Just `pip install pymol-remote`

Any chance you could add an 'enzymes' tag to the list?

Would be curious to see how that landscape there looks like -- off the top of my head e.g. basecamp research, allozymes, cradle, xyme.ai, LIGO, birch biosciences ( @milesgander.bsky.social ), zymvol ... would fall under that tag
