Excited to highlight this research article from @BridwellRabbLab members @MadisonKnapp19, @courtney7887, and colleagues!
Check out another outstanding contribution in ACS Bio & Med Chem Au from Jennifer Bridwell-Rabb's lab @BridwellRabbLab. Jennifer is one of our 2024 Rising Stars in Biological, Medicinal, and Pharmaceutical Chemistry! #OpenAccess @ACSBioMed @lavasanifar pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

I've started posting some literature-based organic chemistry problems at
lutzpolymerlab.weebly.com/re…. I assembled them during Covid-lockdown boredom and since I haven't figured out anything better to do with them, I thought I'd put them online in case others might find them useful.

Check out the Buss Group’s first publication in @J_A_C_S!
Carefully designed copper clusters inform the critical role of surface hydrides in CO2RR.

Every piece of new data collected was so exciting, rationally engineering a #rieske #oxygenase to switch substrate specificity and perform chemistry on non-native substrates. @cooltt888 @BridwellRabbLab @MichiganChem #biochemistry

Excited to share our latest #rieske #research that uses structure-function relationships to change the reaction outcome of a Rieske oxygenase! Great teamwork by @BridwellRabbLab members @cooltt888 @AlejandroChem and twitterless Patrick! @BiochemistryACS

Inspiring work to provide clean and safe drinking water within communities rather than shipping pallets of plastic water bottles.

The process of the ‘Aloe Vera’- created using molecules/minerals found in aloe vera 🪴
This was definitely one of my favourite pieces to draw because it required the use of lots of colours 🎨

....I can't stop laughing
It's with great pleasure to share the work from the @BridwellRabbLab I co-authored on with Dr. Brimberry published in #CurrentOpinion in #ChemicalBiology focused on engineering regions inside and outside the active site of Rieske oxygenases for catalysis: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

even if the rest of the day is complete shit… as my instructor xochitl says “the fact that u took time out of ur day to care for yourself matters”….. so true, xochitl

A key finding is both the polymer AND the pesky plasticizer additive are repurposed in this process. This aspect is really important for dealing with PVC waste b/c PVC and phthalates have been formulated together for decades. (truly a toxic power couple)

It’s finally time to share the fruit of my post-doc research on plastics upcycling: a method for repurposing PVC waste in chlorination reactions. Check it out! Thanks to @AnneJMcNeil, Han, Sofia, and Jose, and @McNeilGroup! nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

As scientists, we often forget just how cool our work is. I showed my parents what I do in lab for the first time today & my mom was amazed just looking at DNA on a agarose gel & human cells under the microscope. Take a moment to be proud of yourself & your science!

Don't put it off — the application for student loan forgiveness is remarkably simple.

This is basically it:
I strongly agree with this direction of having a diverse (electronics, different groups) rather than an expansive scope. Furthermore, including negative examples of low yields would establish limitations and save resources of others wanting to apply the method

Carolyn Bertozzi – awarded the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry – has taken click chemistry to a new dimension and started utilising it in living organisms. Her bioorthogonal reactions take place without disrupting the normal chemistry of the cell.
