Our latest paper is out in @J_A_C_S on disulfide bioconjugation on proteins (my first as a mother). This one is for you, little Timisa! Thanks @iiserbhopal @chem_iiserb @ANRFIndia @shivkuma_k for funding. #womeninstem #chemicalbiology #organicchemistry

@iiserbhopal Congratulations 👏

We are delighted to share that a research article titled “Rapid and High-Yielding Disulfide Bioconjugation at Any Desired Site in Proteins” from the research group of Dr. Dimpy Kalia, Department of Chemistry has been published in the prestigious 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮 (JACS). The article describes the development of 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗔𝗹𝗱 technology, a robust platform enabling stable, rapid, and quantitative disulfide bioconjugation of solvent-exposed cystine disulfides in proteins under physiological conditions. When combined with LAP tag technology (LAP-StapleAld), this chemistry becomes location-agnostic, allowing precise installation of lipoyl disulfide linkages at any desired site on a protein—opening new possibilities in chemical biology and protein engineering. IISER Bhopal congratulates Dr. Dimpy Kalia and her research team on this outstanding achievement and wishes them continued excellence and many more high-impact scientific contributions. 🔗 Access the article via this link: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… @EduMinOfIndia @IndiaDST @DBTIndia @ANRFIndia @dasgobardhan @Dimpy_IISERB @chm_iiserb @J_A_C_S #IISERBhopal #ResearchExcellence #JACS #ScientificAchievement #ProteinBioconjugation #ChemistryResearch
