Beyond high affinity binders.
Sort of current dream in #structuralbio: A ligand binding to a protein with high affinity at a single site.
As a microscopist, I'd rather be interested in cooperative avidity binding (2+ low affinity binding sites at the target protein).
Are there tools to design that?

AI is shiny. Biology is messy — flexibility, disorder, weak signals, big complexes.
We map what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s next.
