Karishma (and Biswa’s) magnum opus makes it onto Biorxiv

Sep 25, 2025

The first step in the publication journey… This is the paper that describes our BET inhibitors that are super-selective – one of which seems to act by sensing differences in conformational dynamics between paralogues. It only binds to BRD2-BD1 – the only BD1 that shows *no* ms-us timescale dynamics. Very cool (we think)! We’ve sent it to a journal – let’s hope we don’t have to send it to 20!

You can find it here, in all its glory:  http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2025/09/24/2025.09.24.678353
