Who decides product specificity in nonribosomal assembly line synthesis? The answer is important for making new antibiotics through #NRPS engineering. Now out @ACSCatalysis. https://t.co/Qhe6E2hDHG Thanks to our collaborators @david_niquille & J. Reinstein @mpi_mr_hd. @LeibnizHKI
Yes, I think you should. The twitter crisis is a unique chance to build a better community for scientists on #Mastodon without ads and attention-hogging algorithms. #twexit

I love the idea of a free, open-source, and ad-free social network for scientists. I have just made a profile for our lab on @mstdn.science and so far it looks great. A nice community is building there right now.
On bioRxiv: Adenylation multispecificity guided us to find broad evolvability of #nonribosomal surfactin synthetase SrfAC. Provides guidelines which enzyme residues have potential for bioengineering #antibiotics. Congrats Aleksa! @LeibnizHKI@SvenssonCarl https://t.co/eSj2k4PH6e
Just my yearly reminder: there is a standard format behind (probably) most published papers. I highly recommend all students look at that format: https://t.co/KY3NRniWhb makes writing easier for my students (and myself)
Did you know that an artwork of Beuys once got mopped up by accident? Indiscriminate cleaning up of biosynthetic intermediates can be a loss or a benefit for engineered #NRPS as shown by Farzaneh&Sayan in ACS Chem Bio. @LeibnizHKI@KriesLab @Hertweck_Lab https://t.co/mh2QlGpYzK
In our institute, we pursue many different approaches to find new therapeutic agents. One cool way is Biosynthetic Design in @KriesLab and it's probably best we let Hajo Kries explain what that is himself:
Happy to share the latest synthesis project: Total Synthesis and Functional Evaluation of IORs, Sulfonolipid‐based Inhibitors of Cell Differentiation in Salpingoeca rosetta https://t.co/oi6n8Jjvf5 @ERC_Research@TRR_FungiNet in collaboration @KriesLab@LeibnizHKI @Choano_Lab
Excellent opportunity for a PhD project between @andrecobb and my lab at King's College London: Using photoredox catalysis to manipulate posttranslational modifications! https://t.co/qvFhPZFrhW
Congrats Jacob Wurlitzer & Markus Gressler! We recorded substrate profiles in this exciting project on fungal #NRPS. Knowing side-activities helped to develop a biosynthetic strategy for fluorophore-labeled peptides. @LeibnizHKI@ChemicalScience@UniJena https://t.co/uWHIAila46
