Our latest paper from Lydia and @XeniaKSS is out in JACS Au! We wanted better reagents for selectively labelling protein N-termini, so looked at how functionalisation affected each step of the complex equilibrium, leading to faster and more stable probes! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Keep an eye out for the last couple from the group!😎🦾 Latest instalment: Phathu’s PhD work on enantioselective a-amination just out in @JOC_OL (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…). Congrats to Phathu and the entire team!🎉🎉 For more from this guy, keep an eye out on the @spicerlab!

Our latest preprint is out - Lydia took a deep dive into the chemistry of pyridinecarboxaldehydes to try and find improved reagents for labelling protein N-termini. Spoiler: we think we found some design criteria that allow us to achieve just that! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Hi! I am excited to share a new paper led by @RozansSam We all love peptides and put them in biomaterials, but don't often think about how stable they are during culture. Sam and co-workers synthesized a series of peptide libraries and incubated them with different cell types.

New preprint, where we use functionalised peptides as catalysts for proximity labelling of proteins - with the ability to screen libraries of peptides for protein binding, we think this could be a really versatile tool for site-selective modification. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

@professor_dave At 11 C it was at least 10 degrees below a temperature I would have considered that at!

Lovely day out on the North Yorkshire coast yesterday to say goodbye to our fantastic Mchem students Perisa and Alicia. Best of luck for your next steps!

Our group had a fantastic time showcasing hydrogel chemistry (beautiful alginate beads and 'fake snow'!) to the next generation of budding scientists at @YorkFestofIdeas last week, along with the team of @professor_dave and @YBRI_UoY. Great to interact with the York community

Make your way to Acomb Library today to have a go at making your own hydrogel and learn how they are used in medicine! #getinvolved #science #outreach @YorkFestofIdeas

#ChemistryOfRunning Mission Complete with a a 2.48 today @LondonMarathon Thanks to my my family for their continued love and support as I do mad stuff like this. I'll be writing a full race report for @ChemistryWorld in May 😁 Now, all the food and beer please

Also 2 new entries for journal bingo, which I know @UnsworthChem will approve of

Nice to be able to play a small role in supporting the work of good friends of the group in 2 papers this week. The first led by @theSeriousLab with @XeniaKSS just out in PLOS Biology on microfabrication platforms for cell culture journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
York Biomedical Research Institute@YBRI_UoY

#NewPaper from @spicerlab and colleagues @ChemistryatYork Low-cost, versatile, and highly reproducible microfabrication pipeline to generate 3D-printed customised cell culture devices with complex designs #cellculture #bioengineering journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Our new paper has been a labour of love so delighted to see it out! We show that strain-promoted cycloadditions can take place in lipid membranes, providing a potentially valuable tool to study membrane proteins, lipid dynamics, and bilayer transport onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Congratulations to the group's second PhD student Laetitia on her graduation last week! The first one I've been able to attend at @ChemistryatYork so a very proud supervisor moment, and lovely to see some of our undergrad students back to celebrate as well
