Petunias designed to glow✨🌱✨. On sale for first time today !!! The would is going to be so cool as we get better at designing DNA. Get ‘em before they run out ! Got mine already 😄😄 light.bio

Big congratulations to our newly minted doctors, Dr. Max Sosa (Max Sosa), Dr. Elijah Kissman, and Dr. Douglas Millar (Douglas Millar ).

What an unexpected strategy for making enediyne scaffolds!

Check out our review on the current state of biocatalysis. Congrats to the authors. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Interesting how unrelated Fe-S clusters with different cluster geometries both facilitate LA-catalyzed DA reaction in biosynthesis. Would be cool to see how various ferredoxins fare against panels of inter/intramolecular DA substrates nature.com/articles/s4146…

A Manic Monday? We are excited to bring you the first PLP enzyme catalyzing intermolecular Mannich reaction J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… This work is led by the amazing postdoc Shaonan Liu and supported by ACS Green Chemistry Institute

Unique highly hetero-substituted benzenes are defence compounds from tiny springtails. The minute amounts available needed the combination of GC/MS, GC/IR, DFT-calculation, and synthesis to arrive at the structures. Chem. Sci. doi.org/10.1039/D4SC03…

Very happy to share the final chapter of my postdoc time in the Abe group 東京大学 | UTokyo . Wondering how a PLP-dependent enzyme utilizes NAD and SAM as substrates for a (3+2)cycloaddition to construct azaindane natural products? nature.com/articles/s4192…

We should make "Very GMO" plant snacks. Like, bespoke, artisanal GMO. Limited edition glowing apples etc. Tie dye banana chips. Kombucha with yfp served in uv lit bottles.

My PhD work studying the biosynthesis of medicinal natural products in plants is now published. Check it out!

Single-Enzyme Conversion of Tryptophan to Skatole and Cyanide Expands the Mechanistic Competence of Diiron Oxidases by Sanjoy Adak, Logan Calderone, August Krueger, Maria-Eirini Pandelia, Bradley Moore MooreLabSIO Scripps Institution of Oceanography in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

New research in Science represents a notable step forward in designing enzymes from scratch. With a new approach, researchers designed an enzyme that uses a covalent intermediate to catalyze a two-step reaction, analogous to what many proteases do when breaking apart proteins.
