New @BiochemistryACS paper about one of my favorite enzymes ever - Structural, Spectroscopic, and Computational Insights of the Ethylene-Forming Enzyme. Collaboration between @MSU_BMB @michigantech and myself at @OtagoBiochemist doi.org/10.1021/acs.bi…

Structures just released rcsb.org/structure/8T87 rcsb.org/structure/8T88 determined in collaboration with @Stanford @mbogyo and my lab at @OtagoBiochemist - JACS paper on Probes for Specific Detection of Staph Infections doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3… @JeyunJo @TulsiUpadhyay5 +others

Check out our latest covalent probes for imaging Staphylococcus aureus infections published @J_A_C_S. Great work from @JeyunJo and @TulsiUpadhyay5 and collaborators. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share the news!! Thanks Matt @mbogyo, for giving this fantastic opportunity to work on this project. Enjoyed teaming up with @JeyunJo, @MFellnerLab and all our collaborators 🙌 Thanks @ec_woods, @NikkiPedowitz, @SijieWang5 for helping us with this project!!

Exciting news from our recent research with @TulsiUpadhyay5 on oxadiazolone-based probes targeting FphE, a S. areus specific serine hydrolase. This is a result of great collaboration with @MFellnerLab, the Valdez lab, Joanna Jaworek-Korjakowska, and the team at @mbogyo lab.

Looking for a new covalent electrophile for serine and cysteine nucleophiles? Check out this great work by ⁦@JeyunJo⁩ and ⁦@TulsiUpadhyay5⁩ developing an oxadiazolone based probe for the S aureus serine hydrolase FphE. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
