Proteins are typically expected to have one biologically relevant fold. Our latest work published in @NatureComms shows that evolution selects for proteins with two folds:

@sciqst @COSB_CRSB Hi Raffaele. Yes, the Review discusses 3 of those areas and suggests avenues of research that may address them in the future.

@CterminiPhD Congrats on making it this far. They’re evaluating research productivity and mentorship. Present your work as a cohesive story and mention your publication plans for the projects you present, also who in your lab is doing them. If you write a report, give more detail there.

@FrankNoeBerlin @amelie_iska @DdelAlamo Our paper is not meant to criticize CFold: it's great! It enabled us to do this test I've been wanting to do for years. Fold switchers are hard to predict, and our dataset is fair. Diego is right. CFold predicts the complexed form of RfaH, not its apo monomeric fold.

@AlexGuseman I second @ProfessorAntony. I like Infors better than anything else I've used ( incl. innova and eppendorf).

Thank you, @ProteinSociety, for a wonderful meeting. When I normally attend a conference, I’m happy if I deeply engage during 3 talks. Here, it was more like 12.

@MinyiShen And sometimes it overwrites the contacts it detects with structures memorized during training. We'll post more on that soon.
