From α-Synuclein Structure to Early Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease
Right after graduating, he took off to Germany to join the John Briggs lab at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich. He works within the research department Cell, and Virus Structure and his research is focused on the structural description of the virus life cycle within the cellular context. He is passionate about working with an electron microscope, cryo-EM data processing, and analysing the resulting structural models. The interview is available HERE (in Czech only).
Anna Hýsková, Eva Maršálková, and Petr Šimeček compared the accuracy and speed of AlphaFold2, ESMFold, and OmegaFold for protein structure prediction. Their study shows when the superior accuracy of AlphaFold2 justifies its computational cost and when faster alternatives are sufficient.
