Is it close to PhD level? 😁
GPT-5:

You’d like a sentence pair where the English sentence has at least 6 words, and the German translation is about twice as long in characters:

English (44 characters, 7 words):
She always takes the train to work.

German (90 characters, 9 words):
Sie fährt immer mit der Eisenbahn zur Arbeit.
The field is huge, I just meant how commonly this term has been used as of now... Tbh, I would really mind seeing back this term more often, as long as it is well defined somewhere in the manuscripts.
I just checked if people use the term epiproteomics, and actually I see 11 publications in PubMed with this term. Global changes in the PTMs of the proteome could be called epiproteomics, I guess...
I tried Mongozo buckwheat white beer and it was quite good :)

Targeting protein disorder: the next hurdle in drug discovery www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Intrinsically disordered proteins are often dysregulated in disease, but have been considered ‘undruggable’. This new Review discusses approaches that could tackle this barrier
This is very cool! 🤩
I think it is around 45 minutes for lecture, then I usually change the topic or have interactions (or have a short break) to freshen up, and then use the second part of the 2h slot of teaching for a slightly or totally different topic. But anyway I prefer the maximally interactive format 🙂
Basically describes something like AF2-3 with either atom coordinate prediction or torsion angle prediction for modeling a protein structure or protein-ligand complex.
Wow, this surprised me!
Nothing from the #NIH domain seems to be accessible to me (from Belgium)
I cannot access #PubMed or #PubChem. Are they down???
The Trump administration has pushed for the censorship of government websites & datasets. Is #PubMed next?

@drkatiesuleta.bsky.social examines how the administration could interfere with this critical resource for research. Read the #OpEd:

Opinion | Will They Come for PubMed Next?
Here's what we lose if the administration takes away this invaluable resource

The author rather used a Proton Mail address for contact info than the EPFL email address. It tells me something... 😏
In #China, the #publication #retractation rate is ~10x higher than 5 years ago. 😮
Some of the reasons why this is happening are well-understood.

You can also find the shorter forms of these in AFDB:

and I'm wondering if the one below is a different evolutionary path where the beta-helix "spiky" part is followed by more than a dozen MBG adhesin(?) domains:
