Excited to share a new pre-print on a joint study between my group and @chembiobryan.bsky.social‬! Directed Evolution of Enzymes for Bioorthogonal Chemistry Using Acid Chloride Proximity Labeling. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... 1/n

Directed Evolution of Enzymes for Bioorthogonal Chemistry Using Acid Chloride Proximity Labeling
Combining bioorthogonal protecting groups with localized catalysts that can unmask them is a powerful approach to spatially and temporally modulate molecular activity. Enzymes are appealing catalysts ...

Excited to share our new preprint, which was years in the making! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... New reactions are typically developed by trial and error. How can we speed up this process? Read on to learn how we used DNA scaffolding to perform >500,000 parallel reactions on attomole scale. 1/n

DNA-Scaffolded Ultrahigh-Throughput Reaction Screening
Discovering and optimizing reactions is central to synthetic chemistry. However, chemical reactions are traditionally screened using relatively low-throughput methods, prohibiting exploration of diver...

Excited to share our latest: we engineered the reactivity of a bacterial E1-like enzyme for ATP-driven modification of C termini. Our tool mimics the logic of peptide bond formation in biology for precision modification of proteins in vitro. 🧪https://rdcu.be/ewN7C

Engineered reactivity of a bacterial E1-like enzyme enables ATP-driven modification of protein and peptide C termini
Nature Chemistry - In living systems, ATP provides an energetic driving force for protein synthesis and modification. Now, an engineered enzymatic tool has been developed for high-yield, ATP-driven...

Finally, in these tough times for science I want to emphasize how this work was supported at every level by NIH: through grants to my lab (DP2); to my students (BTP T32; CBI T32); and from Rohith’s experience as an NIH Postbac in the Tjandra lab. Grateful for the support that made this possible.

Today in @nature.com we share our back-to-back stories with Ning Zheng’s lab revealing chemical-genetic convergence between a molecular glue degrader & E3 ligase cancer mutations. 1/5
