🚨 preprint 2️⃣ this month: our (purely experimental🧪) venture into #ChemBio We prouldy present: ADD-tagging of proteins (or "ADDing") —a super convenient enzymatic technique to install click chemistry handles on proteins. Led by superstar @wahyuwidodo.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A 🧵👇🏽

📢📢📢 PhD Opportunity! Join our research group at RUG! We're seeking a motivated PhD student for a project on biocatalytic cascade processes combining natural and designer enzymes, supported by machine learning. Click below to learn more — and feel free to share! sites.google.com/rug.nl/roelf...

Very proud to share that one of my main PhD projects has been published in @chemicalscience.rsc.org, and that it has been selected as a #ChemSciPicks of the week paper! Keep reading below for more details, or check out the full paper for free online: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC... Thread ⬇️

Grateful to be part of this awesome project lead by @brouwerb.bsky.social. Take a look to our preprint about unlocking iminium ion catalysis when using amino-tyrosine as a genetically encoded amino acid! 🤓 #MSCA @roelfesgroup.bsky.social

Check out our latest preprint, in which we demonstrate the first example of using noncanonical 3-aminotyrosine (aY) as a catalytic residue for iminium activation in a designer enzyme! Thread ⬇️
