✨ New C-GEM preprint E. coli ribosomes support translation of (R) and (S) β2-hydroxyacids in vitro: a structural and biochemical study Congrats @c-majumdar.bsky.social, @alexandra-kent.bsky.social, @nxhamlish.bsky.social, Cathy, Katie, Alanna, and @jhdcate.bsky.social! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Feels hard to write about anything other than *gestures broadly* but I did just finish the roll of parafilm I bought at the start of my PhD. Can I redeem this for a fun shirt or a donut?

✨ New from C-GEM in ACS Central Science: Thioesters Support Efficient Protein Biosynthesis by the Ribosome pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Congrats to Alexandra & Jacob, along with Isaac, Jess, @alexsolivan.bsky.social, @nxhamlish.bsky.social, Katie, Alanna, Jamie, and Scott! #NSFfunded @pubs.acs.org

I'm gonna be co-op-ing with the chemical biotechnologies group at Merck this summer and early fall! Really excited for this opportunity and grateful for all the people who helped make this possible If youre in NYC, hit me up to discuss protein engineering, synbio, and genetic code expansion!

📰 New from C-GEM in ACS Central Science! An exciting collaboration with our friends at Amgen and Schrödinger to demonstrate incorporation of multiple extended backbones in a protein in vivo ✨ Congrats to @nxhamlish.bsky.social and the rest of the team! #NSFfunded pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
