Though I like posting them, and some of the readers like sifting through, the literature reviews always struck me as too static, I wanted to have a more nimble system that can allow readers to comment on a specific paper, to ‘like’ specific papers, and to be able to sort the list this way or another. Following the recent post on Annotator, it came to mind that Disqus might indeed be the answer for a few of these problems. So here is a pilot for this approach, let’s see how it goes. All the titles are posted as comments at the bottom, you can comment/ask questions on specific ones, show appreciation by ‘liking’ them, sort by popularity, moreover – you can add all the ones I missed!

As usual, a long absence means two things, lots of work to do, and lots of papers to read. You can find here our pickings from the recent literature. Enjoy.

A collection of interesting papers from the recent literature – there’s something for everyone here. Enjoy.

(more…)

The latest crop of interesting literature in our field. There are a bunch of papers about protein dynamics (and its conservation) and another bunch on protein design. And if you search carefully there is also one paper by us on peptide docking with a new Rosetta protocol.

(more…)

Another compilation of forty some titles from the recent literature all about your favorite computational structural biology science. Two of the papers are by Rosetta Design Group’s members – see if you can find waldo. Enjoy.

(more…)

You know the drill… a collection of relevant titles from the recent literature, if you want to discuss any of these, or expand on them, we’ll be more than happy.

(more…)

NAR just published the new special “Database” issue for 2010. We collected 23 papers that might be of interest to structural biologists, modelers and other protein people.

(more…)

50 papers of potential interest from the (very) recent literature.

(more…)

After a long break, the molecular modeling literature digest is back with ~50 recent publication which we believe would be of interest. As usual you are most welcome to add relevant publications or suggest specific papers for us to focus on.
