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
Yes, I think you should. The twitter crisis is a unique chance to build a better community for scientists on #Mastodon without ads and attention-hogging algorithms. #twexit

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:

Happy to share the latest synthesis project: Total Synthesis and Functional Evaluation of IORs, Sulfonolipid‐based Inhibitors of Cell Differentiation in Salpingoeca rosetta onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @ERC_Research @TRR_FungiNet in collaboration @KriesLab @LeibnizHKI @Choano_Lab

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

Excellent opportunity for a PhD project between @andrecobb and my lab at King's College London: Using photoredox catalysis to manipulate posttranslational modifications! findaphd.com/phds/project/di…
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
