I'm finally on my way! After a long, relaxing summer, I'm finally headed to Tokyo as a @jsps_sns Postdoctoral Fellowship. I'll spend the next few years working with Prof. Abe and the many talented scientists @UTokyo_News Lab of Natural Products Chemistry.
Next up, we had Andrew Michael Whitten who did a posh job with his presentation on applying ATP-Grasps to several different problems in protein bioconjugation chemistry.
Announcing our new @PrincetonChem and @PrincetonMSE#ssNMR#DNP instrument: fully installed at Frick Lab, ready for inspired campus research, and one of just a few instruments like it in the world.

Check out our lab’s latest preprint on the biosynthesis of amino acids that feature strained rings. @maxbsosa discovered that these gene clusters contain a PLP-dependent enzyme that forms the ring from a halogenated substrate. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
So pleased to post this @ChristheChang paper, now out in @Nature: "Oxidative cyclization reagents reveal tryptophan cation–π interactions."
Congratulations Chris Chang Lab and all! Full paper: bit.ly/4a2oLmF
Leveraging the ability of living systems to evolve and overcome complex problems, researchers from @UCBerkeley have created strains of Escherichia coli capable of anaerobically producing n-butanol, 1,3-butanediol and 4-hydroxy-2-butanone.
