Our paper reporting the discovery of a selective molecular glue degrader of the transcription factor FIZ1 is now online in @J_A_C_S. Read more here: pubs.acs.org/jacsat/article/… This was collaborative work with Heeseon An's lab @MSKCancerCenter! #TPD #MolecularGlues #ChemBiol

Sometimes single-minded dedication to a problem is the path to great science. I’ve never met someone more focused on a problem than David Baker. Among the postdocs at UCSF in the early ‘90s, none of us would have been surprised to learn there was a Nobel Prize in David’s future.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

We have been blown away by all the wonderful messages that we have received in response to our symposium! Thank you! It means a lot to all of us that our delegates had a fantastic time in Dundee and have left inspired to push forward the frontiers of TPD research! #TPDFocus

Losing Oxford rower reveals he and several others in the boat were struck down with E. coli this morning, apparently from shit in the river. The Boat Race is being watched around the world. The current state of our waterways is an international disgrace and embarrassment.

Really lovely and meticulous work, @conway_group, using a similar IMiD bump to avoid off-target degradation. It’s possible or even likely that SD40 will interface well with your IMiD, given the relatedness between compound 23 and PT-179, and how the latter is bound in the CRBN•SD40 complex. Hopefully our two studies can appear together in print in @ScienceMagazine. @dijiang319

Having enjoyed the paper from @davidrliu, @fischerlab1, and @ChoudharyLab in @ScienceMagazine this week, we have now posted our own, complementary, taken on a bump-and-hole approach to develop an orthogonal bumped IMiD-degron pair: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….

Wacky new chemistry game: click chemistry or nerve agent?
Is it me or is the distinction between SuFEx/PFEx click chemistry and just straight up nerve agents getting worryingly blurred 😬
