Sandra wins poster prize
Sandra Wissmüller recently attended the 6th Discovery Science and Biotechnology Meeting in Brisbane, where she was awarded an Early Career Researcher poster prize for her poster: Specific Interactions of Sox Proteins with many Transcription Factors. The work described there was part of her PhD thesis in her former lab in Germany and was published last year. The sponsors give half of the money directly to the winners and use the other half to pay the registration fee for any other conference the winner chooses to attend.
Margie and Ann win Linkage Grant
Margie and Ann were recently awarded an ARC Linkage Grant to investigate the possible biotechnological uses of hydrophobin proteins. The work is a collaboration with the German chemical company BASF.
Jason talks at GATA conference in Capri
At the recent GATA factors conference on the Mediterranean island of Capri, Jason was invited to present his work on the DNA_binding properties of C. elegans GATA zinc fingers. He gave a great account of his work, injecting a little bit of structural biology into an otherwise developmentally dominated conference.
Wanted: postdoc biochemist/structural biologist to work with Richard Payne, Sydney/US startup INSAMO (and me). Goal: use cyclic peptide mRNA display to design cell-permeable peptide-based protein degraders: https://usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNAL_CAREER_SITE/job/Darlington-Campus/Postdoctoral-Researcher-in--Peptide-Based-Drug-Discovery_0131612-1

Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?
This is supercool, but it does like folding everything, even things that are probably disordered... As always, use with caution, and consult your friendly structural biologist before investing too much in low confidence predictions.
