If you only read one of our research group's papers this year - make it:
"How small molecules stablize oligomers of a phase-separating disordered protein"
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
The Robustelli laboratory is hiring a Postbaccalaureate Fellow to work in the group for 1 year with a focus on either experimental or computational biophysics!
apply.interfolio.com/184353
This position is ideal for students seeking experience before applying to a PhD program.
Applicants interested in working in computational biophysics should have experience implementing and writing code in Python and experience with computational methods in chemistry or biophysics (such as molecular dynamics simulations) or...
Congrats to @JiaqiZhuDartmth on an absolutely brilliant PhD defense!
1 down. 299 to go.
Happy Holidays from the Robustelli Laboratory!
Enjoy some festive holiday grooves from the lab band "Nascent Chain"
Guys this MD/PhD honorific stuff isn't complicated.
If you introduce yourself as "doctor" just specify if you are
"An intellectual pioneer and steward of the sacred ancient edifice of human knowledge"
or
"A medic"
Our manuscript applying the knot theory descriptor writhe to build kinetic models of IDP dynamics is now out in JCTC
pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
We think this approach establishes a new state-of-the-art for building markov state models of IDP dynamics.
Presenting one of my favorite manuscripts I've ever worked on:
"Characterizing structural and kinetic ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins using writhe"
by @DartmouthChem student Tommy Sisk, with a generative modeling component done in collaboration with @smnlssn
Check out the code

And the writhe tools python package
pypi.org/project/writhe-tool…
Fun day at @DartmouthChem serving buldak ramen and explaining the biophysics and structural biology of heat and capsaicin activation of the ion channels for @AmerChemSociety National Chemistry Week!
Our work developing a maximum entropy reweighting method to refine all-atom ensembles of IDPs with extensive NMR and SAXS datasets is now out in @natcomms
Led by @DartmouthChem graduate students Kaushilk Borthakur and Thomas Sisk in collaboration with @BonomiMax .
Take note of our 15 (!) exp. refined IDP ensembles deposited in the @proteinEnsemble (example: proteinensemble.org/entries/…)
If you think you have good method / force field for generating IDP ensembles - you can benchmark your agreement with exp data against these ensembles.
Check out our new preprint characterizing the binding mechanisms of small molecules that inhibit or accelerate the aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide, which is associated with type II diabettes.
Here's a thread describing the results.

Excited to share a preprint of:
"Monomer binding modes of small molecules that modulate the kinetics of hIAPP amyloid formation"
The first paper from @DartmouthChem PhD student (and fellow @pomonacollege sagehen alum!) Michelle Garcia together with post-doc Korey Reid.

These simulations gives us a mechanistic framework to begin to understand the structure-activity-relationship of ligands that inhibit or accelerate the aggregation of hIAPP. New @RadfordLab work (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…) gives us new ligands to look at and...
