Great work from post-doctoral fellow @joanzone.bsky.social:

New preprint on identifying active structures of protein kinases -- capable of binding ATP, Mg ions & especially substrates -- +modeling all 437 human catalytic protein kinase domains in their active conformation.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Being a Nazi and running a company that does child pornography is not a normal level of β€œa bad person”. Have some honor.

First of all, it’s a huge disgrace he was elected in the first place. Second of all, drawing comparisons to Newton? This is all very embarrassing.

Time to stop writing articles about the "security" or "economic" reasons to capture Greenland, they are irrelevant

Their numbers are cherrypicked. But I have seen first hand. Impressive, really.

🚨New preprint(1/2)! We show that RTK fusion oncoproteins broadly suppress EGFR signaling. How? Sequestration of adapters as the shared principle.

Led by superb PhD student Carol Gao.

Probably explains why science is better when you do it do fun than when you do it to win.

Darwin's regrets:
"If I had to live my life again I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week.. The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect and more probably to the moral character"

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

Reading that text I was convinced that this lady is indeed no intellect, just emotions. No facts or math, just gossip. And then she just concluded all women must be like that.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

Where next for structural bioinformatics?

I wrote a blog post about the future of structural bioinformatics.

Where to go after AlphaFold? How do we avoid the field becoming a load of half-baked LLMs?

Let me know what you think.
