#SIRT7 is a histone deacetylase with highly specific activity on #chromatin substrates.
We just published mechanism-based #cryoEM structures of #SIRT7 on nucleosomes to understand its activity 👇

This would not have been possible without the excellent (and very efficient!) contributions of @BabatundeEkund1 and Polina Foteva (who just defended her MSc thesis 🥳), of @DongchunNi, Esther Calviño and @LabStahlberg, or without the truly supportive guidance of @Beatfierz.

Always nice to share the ideas together! Many THX to who show interest and ideas in our project 🙏 If interested in TF target search, feel free to contact us 📧 @LCBM_EPFL @davidsuter_epfl

THX to the EMBL travel grant for me to attend such great conf. 🍀 #EMBLOmics @EMBLEvents

Have a look @ChemRxiv on a new class of peptide-cyanobenzene dye photocatalysts developed by @Xingyuu_Liu in collaboration with Dr. Anne Sophie Chauvin and Wei Cai/ @Beatfierz @LCBM_EPFL

Inhibitors of histone deacetylases (#HDACs) have longer and longer on-target residence times, which may help future clinical applications.
How is this achieved? Check out our new #OpenAccess Perspective @JACS_Au, with @DrYasirRaouf, to know more! 👇🏻

Doping, but make it biocatalysis! I’ve had an amazing time collaborating with @andexerlab at ALU Freiburg on this project we’re happy to have published in Angewandte Chemie.

Happy to see our latest work in @ChemEurJ 🎉. Here we present a new way to get a photoactivatable BODIPY for cell imaging. This probe allows super-resolutive images in the green channel. Special thanks to @vleberruyer, Maxence, Pascal and @Mayeul_Collot

The mammalian Zn-dependent #HDACs are very diverse. They target various acyl-lysine modifications and acetylation of polyamines and other molecules.
This study led by Michael Lammers and Leonie Graf @uni_greifswald trace these features in bacteria🦠!

I am really excited to share our latest #sirtuin research on @biorxivpreprint!
We used mechanism-based crosslinking to solve the structure of SIRT7 and its interaction with biological substrates on the nucleosome.
More details to follow 🙂

Want to see how PRC1 writes the Polycomb ubiquitin mark on chromatin, in real-time? Check out our latest preprint, done all by @AlexaTeslenko at @EPFL_CHEM_Tweet, a tour-de-force of single-molecule enzymology!

🔋Recharging just before the beginning of the autumn semester: this year's group outing featured stunning views and a relaxing afternoon at the #Oeschinensee shores 🏞️ Welcome to our new LCBM member @ShaswatiMandal, who joins as a Postdoctoral Researcher!

[Carlos Moreno-Yruela @CarlosMYruela]

It was a pleasure to present at the SCS Fall Meeting today and learn about all the fantastic Swiss MedChem and ChemBio research!
