ppigFinder: an integrated desktop application for bacterial genome annotation and AlphaFold 3 based protein protein interaction screening

Motivation. AlphaFold-based structure prediction has transformed structural biology by enabling accurate protein modelling and providing a powerful framework for inferring protein-protein interactions (PPIs). However, discovering candidate PPIs directly from genome sequences remains a fragmented and largely trial-and-error process, typically requiring separate tools for open reading frame (ORF)…

Animation boosts willingness to adopt airborne disease precautions, study finds

Even as the scientific community has reached a broad consensus that infectious pathogens, such as viruses, can spread through virus-laden aerosols, one fundamental challenge remains: How can scientific evidence be transformed into public understanding—and ultimately into meaningful action for effective airborne disease control and…
