From June 15-19, 2025, we will organise the 20th International Symposium on the Biology of Actinomycetes (ISBA XX in the Netherlands, at the beach of Egmond. See here for the website: universiteitleiden.nl/isba2025 Registration will open later this year.

Happy to announce the first steps into NRPS/PKS engineering thanks to the work from Leonard and collaborations with the labs from Markus Kaiser and Michael Groll: Bioengineering of syrbactin megasynthetases for immunoproteasome inhib... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Tired of drawing biosynthetic pathways for your 15-module NRPS and PKS systems? Or are your eyes hurting from peering at stereocentres? Try visualising your biosynthetic diagrams automatically with RAIChU! jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… github.com/BTheDragonMast…

We have joined a DK branch of @TinyEarthNet where we will @nanopore sequence isolates, assemble genomes & do some bioinfo before returning some condensed output to students. Can you recommend tools that produce output that is both exciting and feasible for students to understand?

Please help to share. We are looking for a new tenure track assistant professor to join our faculty @Chemistry_AU with focus on chemical biology and protein chemistry. @Chemjobber au.dk/om/stillinger/…

@RikkeMeyer5 Stort tillykke🎉

I am very proud and grateful to have been invited to become a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. I look forward to what this will bring! royalacademy.dk/da/Aktuelt/Nye…

Early Announcement! simbhq.org/np/ Together with Brad @BradMoore_SIO, Jaclyn @JMWinterlab, and Alessandra @EustaquioLab, We look forward to welcoming you to the 2025 @SIMB_Microbio Natural Product meeting at San Diego! Keynote speaker Prof. Jennifer Doudna! @doudna_lab

Our paper on the nanoRAPIDS platform is out in @CommsChem. The analytical pipeline nanofractionates 10 ul complex culture extract into 384 wells and then determines high-res mass and bioactivity of all peaks. doi.org/10.1038/s42004…

Our new paper is just out now in ACS Chemical Biology! Here we uncover the transport pathway that the antimicrobial lasso peptide cloacaenodin uses to be able to kill susceptible bacteria. This helps explain the narrow-spectrum activity we observe. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@ditlevbrodersen @DMSCongress @RadutoiuSimona Thanks for inviting me. I really enjoyed the symposium and the other talks

The Biological Activities of Polyether Ionophore Antibiotic Routiennocin is Independent of Absolute Stereochemistry (T. B. Poulsen et al.) @ThomasBPoulsen @AarhusUni_int #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cb…

In a joint effort, @INTERfaces2020 has built three Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for students and researchers who are interested in (bio)catalysis: “Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes”. SAVE THE DATE: 1st of May, 2024 @REA_research @msca

Is everything bigger in #Texas?? Me & @BradMoore_SIO are stoked to unveil the “PKZILLAs”: Genes for the new largest known enzymes and proteins in #biology, from the Texan fish-killing alga Prymnesium parvum. PKZILLAs make their giant 90-carbon polyketide toxin, prymnesin! 🧵1/n

@AndyTruman4 This? @ZachReitzPhD

(We had previously set up a process for batch antiSMASH 5 analysis, so I thought I'd check before we reinvent the wheel with v7)

I seem to remember someone recently sharing details of a download for running batch antiSMASH analyses locally (perhaps with some extra associated tools?), but can't seem to find the tweet or associated webpage. Is anyone else familiar with this?

@PhilmusLab This time I’m in!

A while back we had a #NaturalProducts #ChemicalBiology writing group where I met some amazing people (and was probably the most productive writing term I ever had 😃) It is time to bring it back. If you are interested in joining an informal writing group connect with me.

SAVE THE DATES! 🍝🍻 We have received funding from @novonordiskfond to host our dream meeting about biomolecular condensates in Copenhagen in May 2025. Speaker list will be revealed later, but I can promise you it will be stellar! (w. @LindorffLarsen and @alexander_buell)

Reminder that Lorena Fernández-Martínez and I have a studentship available, starting autumn 2024 - on evolution of antibiotic-producing bacteria - closing date 9th Feb gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/d… pls RT

@ditlevbrodersen @Carlsbergfondet Stort tillykke!

@ParkinsonLab @BrianOBachmann @PurdueChemistry @nchembio Congrats - looking forward to reading it

Excited to announce our paper on Ulm16 cyclase is out now at NCB! Great job Zach, Rishi, and the rest of the team! nature.com/articles/s4158… @PurdueChemistry @PurdueMCMP @nchembio
