Our red-shifted aromatic cation manuscript is now out in @jacs.acspublications.org! Lots of data to unpick, including mechanistic photochem, protein labelling, sensing in live cells, and chemical proteomics. Congrats to coauthors Pranab, Pooja, Sanwayee, and Vishal! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Check out the final version of our work on photocatalytic protein ligation in @jacs.acspublications.org. Using a matched pair of simple aromatic cations, we show rapid labelling at the peptide, protein, and intracellular level. Great work by Vishal, Hieu, and Sam! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Check out our latest preprint in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social. Like charges usually repel each other, but here we show the right pair of aromatic cations can actually be sensitize each other for protein labelling, even inside a cell. Congrats to Vishal Hieu and Sam! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our 2nd preprint of the week! It was a privilege to collaborate with @gustafsonlabsbu.bsky.social to demonstrate that our recently developed radical photocages enable quick and simple photo-induced trifluoromethylation of small molecule organics and API's. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Check out our latests work in collaboration with @taylorlab-chembio.bsky.social! We evaluated their biomolecular photocaged trifluormethylation reagent on small molecules, finding it effected rapid trifluoromethylation of diverse aromatics, including several APIs. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Happy to share our preprint in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social on designed aromatic cations for photochemical protein ligation. We show intracellular labelling w/ green light, wash-free imaging, and mechanistic insights. Congrats to Pranab, Pooja, Sanwaye, and Vishal! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hey Organic Asst Profs coming up for tenure (and your senior colleagues) — it is nomination season for the ACS DOC Young Academic Investigators Symposium. Deadline is Feb. 6, 2025. The website has last year’s date 😳 but the other info is right. #ChemSky www.organicdivision.org/meetingsuppo...

I have an AstraZeneca-funded PhD position available (4 years), based in my lab (School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham); start date Oct 2025! Traceless Chemoenzymatic Peptide Synthesis Application deadline: 6 Jan 2025. Get in touch!!! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Got the chance to put together the "Click of Chemical Biologists" starter pack v1 and v2 over the Thanksgiving Break. Feel free to ping me on who else I might be missing! V1: go.bsky.app/3P5i7nJ V2: go.bsky.app/Cr4ej7

📯📯 Chemical Biology starter pack 📯📯 140 PIs & groups posting primary research in chemical biology. Please reskeet (?) & reply to this post if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/KLrTWoj Let's make ChemBioSky even greater again! #realtimechem #FluorescenceFriday #chemsky #chemtwitter #AgentOrange

What better way to open our acct on bsky than by announcing a new paper! Check out the final version of our pyridinium-ylide alkylation approach for accessing highly bespoke #chembio pyridinium probes in JOC/@amerchemsociety.bsky.social! Congrats to authors Ash and Ben on the great work!
