.@UCSB_chemistry’s graduate students recently discovered a technique to decipher siderophore's 3D structure. A better understanding this compound potentially means thwarting bacterial growth and treating certain illnesses. Findings appear in PNASNews. ow.ly/ukWz50wGRxz

Bragging about huge numbers of hours worked each week misses two important truths: -time at work doesn’t necessarily equal productivity -there is no prize for suffering the most

Grab ‘n go: siderophore-binding proteins provide pathogens a quick fix to satisfy their hunger for iron! Read #FirstRxns bit.ly/2UjsDKR by @ADGallo56 & Katherine Franz Franz Lab on the research by the Wencewicz Lab WashU Chem bit.ly/3df202b
