Here's how to predict binding of tens or hundreds of small molecules to protein assemblies using Boltz 2 in ChimeraX. Accuracy depends on how similar the ligands and binding pockets are to existing experimental structures. rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/data/…
Excited to present the result of a fantastic collaborative effort - funded by the National Institutes of Health, including the NIH HEAL Initiative, to develop safer analgesic drugs. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Take a look at mini review from our end on opioid allosteric sites led by @Nokomis96 in Trends in Pharmacological Sciences @WashUClinPharm @WashUAnesRsrch @washumedicine
A very exciting study from my postdoc work is hot off the press! With structural evidence, we demonstrate that inverse agonists can act via GPCR: G-protein complexes -offering new insights into GPCR biology. Thrilled to share this breakthrough!

Beautiful work by the Gati group on kappa opioids where we played a small role. Good start to 2025. More big ones coming @Nokomis96 @WashUClinPharm @WashUAnesRsrch

Superb work! Simultaneous antagonist and G protein bound GPCRs!! Loads to understand still! Congrats @CorneliusGati and team! nature.com/articles/s4158…

An opioid with a literal, light-sensitive 'on/off switch' to avoid fatal side effects, that works in vivo? Look no further - Azomorphine-3 (AM3)! The most exciting study I've been part of, thus far. With @sevakat1 @DirkTrauner and Josh Levitz lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Introducing a new class of potent opioid analgesics that remain in the periphery (hence no respiratory depression) and can be locally activated with light (hence no constipation). As efficacy switches, they also provide insight into how opioids can switch from weak to strong…

Save the date and please share: We're excited to be hosting this year's SoCal CryoEM Symposium @USC, Friday, October 11th in Los Angeles. More details to follow. @cryoEM_Papers @USCBridge @USCDornsife @USCMann
Here's a wonderful write-up by the @USCDornsife communications team, about our recent @CellCellPress paper. @USC @USCBridge dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/c…
Thrilled to present our manuscript out today in @CellCellPress. A tour-de-force on anaphylatoxin complement receptors - 9 (!!!) unique GPCR structures: C3aR/C5aR1, biased/partial/full agonist, Go/Gq, mouse/human. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…
