Our paper is finally published in Science! 🎉The HPLC, NMR, MS, purification, and characterization of the new molecule felt like a real detective story. I was especially thrilled to use and reference my grandfather, Lev Osterman's, 1966 paper—he was the main reason I became a scientist.

AlphaFold3 still tends to overfit regions that AF2 multimer predicts to be disordered. Almost all disordered regions become helices in AF3.
