Want your de novo designed protein to be wobbly? 🍮 Seva, Leif & team have made it possible - you find them at ICML! 🤩 @mpip-mainz.mpg.de @hitsters.bsky.social
1/6 One of the key features of functional proteins is their inherent structural flexibility. In our recent work at #ICML, we introduce flexibility to protein structure design! More in a thread below.
