🚨Exciting paper🚨We made a data set of 1.9 million outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and used it to figure out general features of this protein class— 11 lineages! New sequence motifs! Evolutionary variations on the beta signal! pnas.org/eprint/S3URQU2… 🧵

These laureates are VERY deserving. But an important addendum—no model could be trained without 40 years of Helen Berman and others’ work at the PDB, and we would not be certain of AF’s success without 30 years of John Moult and others’ work on CASP. Hats off to them as well 🥂

You know how at Jewish life cycle events everyone is wishing mazal tov to everyone even though you’re just guests talking to other guests? That’s the vibe when your field wins the Nobel prize.

Mazal tov to David Baker most of all, and mazal tov to all protein designers!

2024 #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry David Baker has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins.

In recent years, one incredible protein creation after the other has emerged from Baker’s laboratory. They range from new nanomaterials where up to 120 proteins spontaneously link together…
