Cells are filled with toxic stuff that damages healthy proteins. Is that garbage just left to rot on the curb? No way! Ubiquitin ligases have evolved to recognize chemical damage and clean it up! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just listened to a fantastic talk on harnessing evolution to do new #chemistry by @francesarnold.bsky.social at the Bowei Research Conference in Taiwan. Loved her advice: “Nature does not care about your calculations.”

This topic (and conclusion) is one that I have been teaching about for awhile in my organic chemistry class. The difference is that it was not within reach 10-15 years ago. This analysis is valuable for teaching. #chemsky 🧪

When I went to the @yaleuniversity.bsky.social #chembio retreat, I got this cool #glycotime shirt. I showed it to Yale alum @ssmelyansky.bsky.social. The response: “That’s so cool that they used the B. subtilis glycocalyx!” Wow. People in @kiesslinglab.bsky.social recognize cells via their glycans.

If you are interested or working in #structuralbiology, as you see any protein (yes, any), you should be thinking: is it glycosylated? The answer is likely to be yes! You can predict N-glycosylation sites and rebuild all types of glycans with ReGlyco glycoshape.org 😌 Check out the example ⬇️ 1/2

Looking forward to honoring David Gin tomorrow at the #chemicalbiology symposium in his honor. He was an excellent organic chemist who contributed to our understanding of #naturalproduct #vaccine adjuvants. We lost him way too soon.

I am so happy to be here. What I loved about Twitter was learning about new science and scientific insights from the people doing it. It’s great to have a place where those conversations can take place (and be found). 🧪
