We are organizing a session on SAM-dependent enzymes at the 38th Irsee Natural Product Symposium, February 25-27, 2026. We are pleased to welcome the following speakers: Prof. Andrea Rentmeister, Prof. Jörg Pietruszka, and Prof. Andreas Kirschning. Please spread the news and join us in Irsee!

Greetings to all the doctoral researchers of the FOR5596 research unit who spent the last week at a summer school in Berlin!

Congratulations to FOR5596 member Andrea @rentmeisterlab.bsky.social for receiving the Wittig-Grignard Award!! 🎉

Congratulations to all the authors of this paper, which just ranked in the top 10% of the most viewed papers published in ChemBioChem in 2023! We are very excited to be able to build on this amazing work in our FOR5596 research group. @andexerlab.bsky.social @rentmeisterlab.bsky.social

Ever wondered why prenylation and methylation use different cofactor scaffolds? We now show that the SAM scaffold enables both: Chimeric cofactors enable methyltransferase-catalyzed prenylation: Chem www.cell.com/chem/fulltex... Kudos to @nicocorn.bsky.social & Arne Hoffmann and all authors 👌👏🤩

If you want to know how to tell an N from an O, you can get some ideas in our new paper. This was a great team effort, introducing us to new methods: MD w/ Ferran Feixas & Marc Garcia Borràs (Girona) + HDX-MS w/ Wieland Steinchen & Gert Bange @bangebalcony.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
