...And also an accompanying paper by @YeyingZhang et al published in @J_A_C_S describing the complete #biosynthesis pathway of valinophos, the origins of new #phosphonate #naturalproduct scaffolds, unexpected ATP-Grasp ligase activities, and new metabolitc branch-points.

We’re delighted to publish our latest on #phosphonate #biosynthesis in @J_A_C_S! @YeyingZhang et al deciphered the complete pathway for the #antimicrobial #naturalproduct argolaphos, the origins of two non-canonical amino acids, and a new diverse group of oxygenase enzymes.

So it's been mentioned that our lab runs really long chromatography columns...

Really nice obit for Tom Brock. RIP master environmental microbiologist. nytimes.com/2021/04/22/sci…

@DrAlannaCondren 👋🏼 We discover #naturalproducts and study their #biosynthesis

Hey #naturalproducts family 👋 I am looking to curate a list of up-&-coming #newPI 's in our field & would love your help. Please tag #assistantprofessors or freshly minted #associateprofessors below & don't forget about international colleagues as well! 🌍 #AcademicTwitter

@DrLauraSanchez @ucsantacruz This is awesome! Congratulations!

Big news, a thread. The lab is moving to the #Chemistry and Biochemistry Department @ucsantacruz in January 2021! We are excited about growing our research program and expanding the #MSImaging applications.

And here's more: "Nature’s Bounty: Revitalizing the Discovery of New Cancer Drugs from Natural Products" cancer.gov/news-events/ca… #NCICancerCurrentsBlog @NCIResearchCtr

NCI’s Dr. Barry O’Keefe discusses cancer drugs developed from natural product extracts in the documentary #ExtinctionTheFacts. Here’s a clip: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08… @BBCOne #NCIintheNews

LAST CALL for apps for our new Genentech postdoc prog that accepts based on potential, rather than fit for a posted lab opening. We're esp interested in diverse backgrounds. Apps due Mon! Comes with industry experience and a competitive postdoc salary ($80k)+benefits.

Brilliant piece from @SeanBiolCarroll in @TheAtlantic on my scientific heroes Jacques #Monod - a brilliant scientist and a man of the utmost integrity- check out Sean’s book ‘Brave Genius’ to find out more too theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

@ActinoLab @beck_ayeee Nothing is quite like the excitement of seeing clean proton NMR spectra recorded from natural products purified after a multitude of chromatographic separations.

@beck_ayeee Only every natural product chemist alive. Otherwise, ouch.

@lab_shen @scrippsresearch This brings back nightmares about the first few months of my postdoc.

Behind the scenes part 3: We are now growing and harvesting 504 bacterial strains (12 racks, 2 full shakers) every 4 days. We record pictures and growth rates for all and are aiming to have 40k per year 🧪🤯 #naturalproducts #NPDC @scrippsresearch

Genomic discovery of an evolutionarily programmed modality for small-molecule targeting of an intractable protein surface pnas.org/content/early/… Congrats to my former WarpDrive Bio colleagues and team! Would be amazing for these compounds to find use in COVID-19 control!

Excited to share our recent #genomemining paper in @ChemicalBiology on discovery of the phosphonoalamides, antibacterial peptide natural products produced via a new route in #phosphonate biosynthesis. Congratulations to @Chase_lol @YeyingZhang pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We have an open tenure-track position within the Department of Microbiology at the Assistant Professor level in the area of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Please see: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14356
