From impulse purchase to pocket studio: The M-Vave FM-1

Initially billed as a pocket cousin of the famous Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, the FM-1 is a bargain at only $59.72 after fees. At release, it was a cool device that did what it said on the box, but not much else. But in July, some intrepid tinkerers on Reddit’s r/synthdiy board began reverse-engineering the FM-1's stock firmware to expand the device's abilities.

Computational De Novo Design of Miniprotein Candidate Neutralizers Targeting the IL-23 Cytokine Subunit p19

De novo miniproteins are an attractive alternative, yet published designs target the IL-23 receptor; the IL-23 cytokine itself has not been addressed. A further obstacle is that the standard confidence score (ipTM) tracks construct length rather than interface quality. We computationally design miniprotein bind
