One of the most heartwarming things I've seen in recent weeks.

AlphaFold developer Google DeepMind to fund CASP as NIH funding falls short Protein structure prediction contest CASP gets temporary funding from Google DeepMind as NIH grant runs out.

DeepMind will fund CASP for a year. Very nice to hear.

(not paying Stat $30 a month, but you can read the first bit).

Exclusive: Famed protein structure competition nears end as NIH grant money runs out Agency silent on funding renewal for contest that inspired creation of AIs that predicted how proteins would fold

Speak up to prevent a major loss for the field. CASP, which helped shaping structural biology including AlphaFold is on the verge of shutting down. NIH funding has lapsed, UC Davis support ends and the core team is being let go. Painfully shortsighted.

We will be hosting a mirror site of the CASP data and workflows at @sib.swiss. Operating a redundant site with independent funding is a good idea for important scientific infrastructure, independent from the current funding situation in the US.

Challenges in predicting PROTAC-mediated protein–protein interfaces with AlphaFold reveal a general limitation on small interfaces AbstractMotivation. Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules composed by ligands binding to a target protein and a E3-liga

I'm happy to announce that our latest work about PROTAC-mediated complexes, AlphaFold and small interfaces is now published in Bioinformatics Advances ! Read the full story here :
