Who decides product specificity in nonribosomal assembly line synthesis? The answer is important for making new antibiotics through #NRPS engineering. Now out @ACSCatalysis. bit.ly/3yeXuKH Thanks to our collaborators @david_niquille & J. Reinstein @mpi_mr_hd. @LeibnizHKI

Today we celebrate #WorldScienceDay for Peace and Development 🌍🦠💊🔬🧫🧪🧬 So we asked some of our researchers what motivated them to become scientists: @microverse_exc @LeibnizWGL @TRR_FungiNet @chembiosys_jena @Buettner_H @mgblango @KriesLab @zcseresn

I love the idea of a free, open-source, and ad-free social network for scientists. I have just made a profile for our lab on @mstdn.science and so far it looks great. A nice community is building there right now.

On bioRxiv: Adenylation multispecificity guided us to find broad evolvability of #nonribosomal surfactin synthetase SrfAC. Provides guidelines which enzyme residues have potential for bioengineering #antibiotics. Congrats Aleksa! @LeibnizHKI @SvenssonCarl bit.ly/3LqOJoD

Just my yearly reminder: there is a standard format behind (probably) most published papers. I highly recommend all students look at that format: journals.plos.org/ploscompbi… makes writing easier for my students (and myself)

Did you know that an artwork of Beuys once got mopped up by accident? Indiscriminate cleaning up of biosynthetic intermediates can be a loss or a benefit for engineered #NRPS as shown by Farzaneh&Sayan in ACS Chem Bio. @LeibnizHKI @KriesLab @Hertweck_Lab bit.ly/3B779qX

In our institute, we pursue many different approaches to find new therapeutic agents. One cool way is Biosynthetic Design in @KriesLab and it's probably best we let Hajo Kries explain what that is himself:

Great collaboration between @Hertweck_Lab, Michael Groll @TU_Muenchen and @KriesLab funded by @chembiosys_jena, @tmwwdg und other sources
Leibniz-HKI researchers from @Hertweck_Lab - in cooperation with @TU_Muenchen - have identified an enzyme that is a promising new therapeutic target to combat dangerous bacterial diseases caused by Burkholderia @felix_trottmann leibniz-hki.de/en/press-rele…

Congrats Jacob Wurlitzer & Markus Gressler! We recorded substrate profiles in this exciting project on fungal #NRPS. Knowing side-activities helped to develop a biosynthetic strategy for fluorophore-labeled peptides. @LeibnizHKI @ChemicalScience @UniJena doi.org/10.1039/D2SC00860B

Faule und fleißige Zellen erkennen: Chemiker:innen der #UniLeipzig haben per #Mikrofluidik-Technologie eine Möglichkeit gefunden, die #Biokatalyse einzelner Zellen zu untersuchen. Das eröffnet ganz neue Möglichkeiten in der „Grünen #Chemie“. uni-leipzig.de/newsdetail/ar…
