45 novel protein folds in the updated AFESM (AFDB + ESMatlas) manuscript:
• 12 high-confidence folds in AFESM
• 33 by ColabFold-repredicting 2.3M low-quality domains
We show AFDB captures most domains already and ESMfold struggles with novelty

Whenever I presented Phold, I was frequently asked "can you do the same beyond phages?" We ( @oschwengers.bsky.social @linsalrob.bsky.social @binomicalabs.org et al) finally did it with Baktfold github.com/gbouras13/ba... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
My group at MIT is seeking a research scientist with a strong *experimental* background to lead and help shape the lab’s experimental infrastructure, supporting efforts to advance AI-driven enzyme discovery and characterization.

Baktfold: Sensitive protein functional annotation across the microbial tree of life using structural information https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.31.715528v1
Does your designed active site already exist in nature? Is an uncharacterized protein hiding a catalytic site or a pocket? Folddisco answers both, searching millions of structures for a 3D motif in seconds.

Clustering proteins using DIAMOND is out now @natmethods.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...
How much protein diversity can Life on Earth actually generate?
With DIAMOND DeepClust, we show how billions of proteins across the tree of life can be clustered at low-identity for downstream analytics tasks.
