Take a break from doomscrolling and read up on everything you ever wanted to know about Tackling Undruggable Targets with Designer Peptidomimetics and Synthetic Biologics. Fun writing this with @ColinSwenson, Guna and Debbie in my lab!

Excited to share our work on synthetic,‘artificial’ transcription factors. We present one solution to design non-natural, high affinity, specific and stable synthetic transcriptional repressors (STRs) that compete with MYC or other bHLH TFs for DNA binding https://t.co/ac55imej3B

Darts and snacks in the city with the lab. Lots to celebrate as we head into academic yr, not the least of which being recently granted F32 and T32 for @ColinSwenson and Olivia Laxton.

@MrSteveKnutson I recommend the good old foot wedge

Bit delayed; 2020 was a rough year but we still managed to get out a paper, go check it out!

When your roommates are your lab mates and your office mates, you become quarantine mates @Tewoderos14 @MrSteveKnutson @HeemstraLab

[Steve Knutson @MrSteveKnutson]

Excited to finally share our latest work out in @J_A_C_S! We repurposed an endonuclease enzyme to bind and enrich A-to-I edited RNAs prior to sequencing and doubled our sensitivity. Looking forward to using EndoVIPER-seq to answer new questions! #WeDidIt https://t.co/UHDhn5Awp2

[Chemical Communications @ChemCommun]

In this Feature Article, @jenheemstra & @ColinSwenson highlight the ability of peptide nucleic acids as peptide mimics, and their untapped potential to encode information in the amino acid sequence 😎

Sometimes we Heemstra Lab members produce beautiful colors for #FluorescenceFriday. Other times @ColinSwenson makes this terrifying blob. What do you think it is?

[Heemstra Lab @HeemstraLab]

Happy #FluorescenceFriday from @Tewoderos14 of the Heemstra Lab!

Check out my latest paper as part of the ISMS(@molspect) special issue @AdelaideChem @UniofAdelaide @EmoryChem @EmoryUniversity @JMU @ausynchrotron https://t.co/3NukHN7SiA

Parlez vous protein? @HeemstraLab teach molecules to speak both nucleic acid and protein languages simultaneously

Congrats to @ColinSwenson @ChemHector @arventhv for having your work on bilingual biopolymers highlighted in @nature!

[Colin Swenson @ColinSwenson]

Grateful and proud of this publication and the team that helped move it forward. Hopefully more to come soon!

[Heemstra Lab @HeemstraLab]

Congrats to @ColinSwenson @ChemHector @ArventhV for reporting in @J_A_C_S the first biopolymer that simultaneously speaks both amino acid and nucleotide languages! Even biomolecules can benefit from having a translator! https://t.co/Fst99OaJFD

[Colin Swenson @ColinSwenson]

Grad school doesn't always go as planned but I am where I am and after four years I finally submitted my first manuscript!!

[Colin Swenson @ColinSwenson]

Ran a pretty cool column on a solvatochromic dye this week #FluorescenceFriday #RealTimeChem #PrideMonth

[Heemstra Lab @HeemstraLab]

Heemstra lab members @ColinSwenson, @ChemHector, and @sknutso2 along with the @WWAstroChemLab's @BunnHayley @EmoryUniversity earned their headbands today at @ToughMudder full. Woo! #BiomoleculesOnTheMove #GradStudentsOnTheMove #toughmudder
