FINAL episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry! 😭 If I were actually standing next to these wonderful folks, I couldn't possibly be this sad! Episode written by me and I had a little something to do with the 3D models too! @TheCrashCourse @thoughtcafe youtu.be/qygFjt2_LG4

Our collaborators say we design great molecules, but sometimes they just come out... pure evil! Happy Halloween!😱

These two historical simulation movies were digitalized from the original 16 mm color films (owned by Martin Karplus and Carol Post) and were available in CHARMM-GUI Movie Gallery for a while. Professors Karplus and Post wrote each movie's description: youtube.com/channel/UCtHN7aN…

In 2012, Ivacaftor developed by Vertex became the first drug to treat the cause rather than symptoms of cystic fibrosis. Now the structure of the drug bound to its target, the ion channel CFTR, has finally been cracked by the Chen lab at Rockefeller. science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Just finished a report of our CASP13 results: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Surprised to find out that we predicted correct folds for all the 3 largest hard targets (~350 amino acids) and generated the best 3D models for two of them (T0950-D1 and T0969-D1). @MoAlQuraishi @sokrypton

Voltage-gated sodium channels have a conserved multiphase slow-inactivation process. Gamal El-Din et al. show that the early phase involves conformational changes in the S6 segment, which are followed by a late phase mediated by the C-terminal domain bit.ly/2E1AnL2
