Lichman Lab

Lab working on plant natural product biosynthesis from enzymes to evolution

[Lichman Lab @LichmanLab]

Hello! We are currently hiring for two post-doc positions on projects related to plant natural products, enzymes, and developing new systems to make useful small molecules. More details on our website: https://t.co/X2SQlELZ4d

[Alison Narayan @AlisonNarayanUM]

I dream of a world in which every synthetic chemist runs biocatalytic rxns on the regular. Led by talented @NarayanLab postdoc @Apatoneh & in collaboration with @gpggrp, we take a major step toward this goal by making biocatalysis more accessible.
🌿CATNIP for all the #biocats

A blueprint of the diatom pyrenoid reveals a Rubisco encapsulating protein Shell is critical for CO2 fixation. Is it essential for global NPP? Congrats to @OnyouNam,@james_r_barrett,@ItsCarolineMck,@JNB_lab + great collab with @DemulderManon,@bengeliscious.https://t.co/gPwPLtylBR

@maite_colinas @SpicyBotrytis @ChenxinLi2 Could be related to balance of tryptophan vs tyrosine metabolism? Nice work in caryophyllales and elsewhere highlights importants of primary metabolism accumulation

[Lichman Lab @LichmanLab]

@maite_colinas @SpicyBotrytis @ChenxinLi2 Of course - Also: brilliant and thorough paper @maite_colinas ! Congratulations. Great to see it realised - we'll look through in a journal club soon enough 📖

[Lichman Lab @LichmanLab]

@SpicyBotrytis @ChenxinLi2 It is everywhere! No longer so surprising to see. Though requires some exaptation wherein precursors are present (and perhaps ancestral), and then just follow the chemical and enzymatic logic...

[Guy Polturak @realguypol]

I'll be sharing past and present research on the biosynthesis of betalains and of wheat phytoalexins in the PhytoChemTalks series. Fri 27th Sept. 12pm EST online.
Turn on, tune in...

We're excited to share the work led by Dr. @PeterWinegar on the complete biosynthesis of verazine. This accomplishment marks the #1st heterologous steroidal alkaloid produced in engineered yeast, unlocking future drug development. Congrats, Peter!! 🧬🎉

Very excited to see this PhD idea finally published as a review @NatProdReports. We classified all MIA oligomers (~1000) through their chemical logic assembly. 3 years of efforts. The structures were submitted @TheLOTUSInitia1 kudos @Adafede
