Is 2026 the year of arginine?
Covalent discovery and chemical proteomics have largely focused on cysteine and lysine, leaving other functionally critical residues underexplored.
In our new preprint, our joint Seiple and Zaro Lab team asked: Can arginine be targeted covalently? 🧵
Get ready for a 6-part series on #antibacterial development news highlights, editorialized by yours truly! In Part 1, I've contextualized live biotherapeutic products in the C. difficile therapy landscape.
Give it a read & a comment so we can all learn.

Weight set / power rack I built during lockdown. The only things that didn't come from the hardware store were the bar, the bench, and the clips. Fun project, and still using it 3 years later!

Super honored to be part of this! Just happy to be in the field with all the cheerful and bright scientists! Big thank you to my collegues and mentors who helped and supported me and my science especially @HarvardCCB@UCSF@UCB_Chemistry
This amazing work by @adamcotton92 in collaboration with @realJimWells is now published in ACS @ChemicalBiology !
