Great thread. Congrats on the new paper reporting the mass spec method you, Allegra and your team used to detect iron chelation of compounds in our @Seeseei1 Samoan medicinal plant.

biology. Biology, the interior of the cell is a sea of metals, yet we mostly think of small molecules without their counter-ions. When @mraffatellu asked us if we could help find the zinc-binding molecule in E.coli nissile, @petras_daniel and @AllegraAron teamed up in the

This is durian. Chemists identified ~45 molecules that make up durian’s odor covering a variety of smells: honey, roasted onion, caramel, skunk & rotten egg. A recent study narrowed those down to just two molecules the researchers say can mimic the fruit’s overall smell.

@SiouxsieW Same here with our proposal being "ranked in the fourth and fifth quintile". Are they acknowledging here that they do not have scores for all proposals? Assuming all proposals are scored, most useful/transparent would be the scores themselves and not an average quintile.
