Round two! The Apheris x Wells Wood Lab have been busy (again!). Here are our 40 submissions for the TNF-α challenge of the @adaptyvbio x @AnthropicAI Protein Design Competition! GLP-1 next! I’m told hashtags are still a thing: #ProteinDesign #OpenScience #AI #Apheris #adaptyv

The Apheris x Wells Wood Lab (Christopher Wood) has been hard at work designing proteins! Heres a video of our submissions for the first @adaptyvbio x @AnthropicAI Protein Design Competition! Stay tuned for TNF and GLP-1!

Wells Wood Lab protein design landed in top 1.2% in Adaptyv Nipah Virus Protein Design Competition in which 680+ participants submitted over 10,000 designs. This was a great team effort with @EvaNotari, @DrLeucine , @mjstam, and @s_mert_unal @ChrisWellsWood

All designs were scored with MD magic from @EvaNotari and our very own "Stam score" (@mjstam ), and we filtered out any candidates that showed non-specific co-folding. Fingers crossed for the lab experiments!

Congratulations Alice and all involved! 📰🥼👩‍🔬 @ArtOxiZymes, @CampopianoGroup, @Brew_Richard, @ChrisWellsWood, @klemencic_eva, Mert and Evangelia
Congrats to Alice on publishing her PhD work in Chem Comm. The first example of a NHC-modified protein displaying Stetterase activity! Great work. @ArtOxiZymes @EdinburghChem pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Last week I presented my research on predicting the oligomerisation states of coiled coil proteins with MD simulations at the annual Joseph Black conference organised by @EdinburghChem. Very pleased to have received an award for the best oral presentation in Physical Chemistry.

New preprint out!🚨We performed a large scale analysis of physicochemical features extracted from over half a million AlphaFold structural models, and using data-driven methods we showed a link between these features and in vivo behaviour of proteins. Find out more below⬇️1/9

I had a fantastic experience in giving an oral and poster presentation at #PPSG2023 about new #migraine treatments. Very honoured to win best poster! Well done to everyone giving talks and posters today. Now let’s hope #StormBabet calms down so I can get home… @RSC_PPSG – at Bushey, East
