Our latest perspective article by @NookKPrakinee @PhaisanSuppalak @SirusKongjaroon on how to use Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction for enzyme engineering recently published in JACS Au. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Just out from the Booker Lab! @BookerMan_PSU @basicchemist #ACSBioMedChemAu Structural Evidence for DUF512 as a Radical S-Adenosylmethionine Cobalamin-Binding Domain | ACS Bio & Med Chem Au pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

When the standard approaches didn't work, @Chad46971777 came up with a new one to solve a synthetic challenge that @YeWangum was having. Mix in @AzamHussai70792 and the following @J_A_C_S paper was the result. @NarayanLab @MichiganChem @UMLifeSciences #biocatalysis

Interested in continuous evolution of biomacromolecules or in the development of Darwinian nanoparticles for gene delivery! Then apply to be a postdoctoral researcher in the Diercks Lab at Scripps. More information at dierckslab.com or at recruiting2.ultipro.com/SCR1003TSRI/Jo…

@champiDicty @richiam95 This looks awesome Adrian!!!

Our new lab website is up, thanks to the awesome @richiam95 jinichlab.ucsd.edu May the Aztec god Xochipilli guide us through our journey of machine learning enzymology (and our other science adventures).

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

Tired of low heterologous biosynthesis yields? Try GrowBio to rapidly make g/l bioproduction. Just give synthetic cells a reason to make your favorite compound like the octopus pigment xanthommatin. Led by @LeahBushin and out at biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Never underestimate a diiron enzyme. Congrats @sanjoyadak90 for bringing the nitrile synthase AetD to life with @Drennan_lab, Maria-Eirini Pandelia, and Ken Houk labs. Published today @NatureChemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

🌊🧬BIG NEWS: Thanks to a four-year, $10 million grant funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, a new center will be established at Scripps Oceanography to understand how climate change may impact the nervous systems and behavior of marine animals. 🧵⬇️ @AllenInstitute

🌊🔬 A new approach to discovering ocean-based drugs could revolutionize health science! Researchers with Scripps Oceanography are unlocking the ocean's vast potential to develop groundbreaking treatments. Learn more about the innovative new method. ⬇️ lajolla.ca/news/health-sc…

Come work with me! The PLNU Chemistry Department has a tenure track position, open to candidates from any area of chemistry: pointloma.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PLNUCareers/jo…

@The_Tidge_Lab @kate_duncan Lurking on this post because I also would like to know! Where do you get these?

@kate_duncan We use these manifolds with T-valves and needles, is this kind of what you're looking for? They sell in 10 packs and you can chain them all together

Can’t wait to meet the fall quarter marine biology lab students as I teach the microbiology portion! Get ready to learn about the tiny but mighty in the ocean 💪🦠

Out now in @ACSCatalysis, we develop a chimeric fusion N-glycosyltransferase for targeted and selective peptide modification, especially in vivo. We use it to make a new glycocin derivative (RiPP NP). Congrats to @smith_ayoola for leading this work!🎉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
