This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded to David Baker (University of Washington, Seattle, USA), Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper (Google DeepMind, UK) for their work on developing Rosetta (Baker) and AlphaFold (Hassabis and Jumper). These open-source software tools enable researchers worldwide to go from an amino acid sequence to a 3D structure of a protein with just one mouse click.

Important changes in the protein structure of a mutated chaperone cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

New research from Prof. Vincent Timmerman’s lab, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Oxford, has elucidated the structural changes caused by a mutation in the molecular chaperone Hsp27 (HSPB1). Chaperones are a group of proteins that have functional similarity and assist in protein folding. This work not only sheds light on an important disease-causing mutation, it also reveals an important mechanism by which this chaperone functions.
