European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference is closed 🧪🇩🇪🧬💕. It has been one of the most vibrant and enthusiastic conference I’ve participated. Dozens of interesting interactions and exciting synergism just started. Great expectations!! EuroBIC-17 #EuroBIC17

.. in #inorganicchemistry, etc. That spurred me on to create and upload to YouTube a video on time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements, much of which I learned in preparation for my own candidacy exams in my PhD 2/n youtube.com/watch?v=vn_66W…

After this video was met by positive feedback & many technical inquires about TRPL, I then shifted focus to creating a "fundamentals" video on Transient Absorption Spectroscopy (TAS), *the* workhorse technique for studying photo-induced processes 3/n youtube.com/watch?v=xmaOF-…

β-lapachone, we all know it, we all love it! Congratulations Elyse Hudson and Ivonne Rebeca Lopez-Miranda for their publication in ChemPhotoChem in collaboration with the Milstein Lab U of T Mississauga …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cp…

TWeeP (This Week's Paper): Highly selective ligations of large protein complexes? No problem! In J. Am. Chem. Soc., Wallace, Jo, and DeGrado show SuFEx chemistry for site-selective ligation of pore-forming proteins stabilizing a huge, 280-kDa 18-subunit complex. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Today in @natchembio we share a new strategy to design fully synthetic “artificial” bZIP family transcription factors that directly block DNA binding of HIF1a and XBP1 to inhibit hypoxia-dependent oncogenic signaling in cells and in vivo. 1/n  nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out our latest article in Nature Chemical Biology where an intracellular micromap proximity labeling platform is established to investigate stress granule disassembly mechanisms. Congrats to Roderick, Steve and Sean! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Researchers at Weizmann Institute observed, for the first time, a protein being born from a single DNA molecule outside a cell. This breakthrough led them to develop the smallest-ever genetic circuit, paving the way for future nano-biotech applications >> bit.ly/DNA-circuit-Eng

Die drei Forscherinnen Julia Kurth, Judith Klatt, Mareike Grotheer der #UniMarburg erhalten einen ERC Starting Grant, die höchste europäische Forschungsauszeichnung für junge Forschende. rb.gy/2lho0m nachrichten.idw-online.de/2024/09/05/uni…

Exciting news in drug discovery! Our new preprint introduces BarlowDTI, a cutting-edge method using the Barlow Twins architecture to predict drug-target interactions with state-of-the-art performance. Check it out: arxiv.org/abs/2408.00040 #DrugDiscovery #AI #MachineLearning

join us in Freiburg!! Tenure-Track Professorship for Theoretical Chemistry and Chemical Data Science RT appreciated uni-freiburg.de/en/job/0000392…

A tartrazine solution makes a mouse's skin transparent. You'll have to read the paper in Science Magazine to see the see-through skin (I thought it was a too gory), but my latest in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) explains how it works and why it's important. cen.acs.org/analytical-che…

Positioning for reactivity (image Jose Vazquez) : A small molecule catalyst takes a nucleophile & electrophile, pulls them together and lines them up to form C—O bonds, check it out in Science Magazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

TWeeP (This Week's Paper): Peptide bods have a half-life of ∼500 years in neutral water. Yet, collagen has been identified in 195 M-y-old fossils. In ACS Central Science, the Raines lab shows that n→π* interactions cause this remarkable stability of collagen. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Proud #newPI moment to share the first J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper from my independent group UoN Chemistry on structural transformations of Pd metal-organic cages with work done by group members Martin Black and Soumalya Bhattacharyya and help from Stephen Argent pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Meet the awesome MCWhite team UIUC-OCB Chemistry at Illinois led by graduate student Sven Kaster (Sven Kaster) w/ Lei Zhu, William Lyon, Rulin Ma, Stephen Ammann. They discovered a catalyst to position olefins & alcohols to form ethers Science Magazine : science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

And some fantastic news to end the week. At long last our work on BCBs is out in ACS Catalysis (link below). What started as an idea on an envelope over 4 years ago and then a "quick project to start your PhD" for Maxim ended up filling almost all of it.
