Check out our work unraveling the molecular basis for the unusual oxygen tolerance of W-Sec-FDH: a redox switch based on an allosteric disulfide bond regulates both high CO2 reductase activity and oxygen tolerance. https://t.co/yToIOU2rj7 #enzymatic #CO2reduction +

🥳🥳🥳 Our study on engineering enzymes to break C–F bonds is now out in @angew_chem! Congrats to the brilliant & dedicated Suzanne Jansen for taking this first step toward the future bioremediation of #PFAS & other contaminating organofluorides!

Beyond thrilled to share that my first PhD paper is out in @JACS_Au! A hunger games-style selection that pits a million biocatalysts against each other, available here: https://t.co/68dlBdwJCs thank you @narf42 for the great supervision!

@anaccbarbosa @itqbnova @InsCardosoPere1 @PNASNews Off to a good start indeed 🥳 great work 👏

[Cristiano Mota @cmota_15]

Our first preprint! Very proud of the excellent work by
Vilela-Alves and coworkers, demonstrating at the atomic level how a W/SeCys-Fdh gets inactivated by oxygen. @FCTNOVA @UCIBIO_Research @i4HBio @XTALUCIBIOFCTN1 @NMRFCTNOVA1 @itqbnova @esrfsynchrotron https://t.co/zX05iHhy0g.

Congratulations Clemens (@narf42) 🥳👏 so well deserved 🎉

[narf42 @narf42]

🥳🤩🥳I am over the moon that ContiZymes has received an #ERCCoG from the @ERC_Research. I am very grateful to all the people, who helped me preparing the grant. But none of this would have been possible without the outstanding efforts of current and past group members.

[Ana Rita Oliveira @AnaOlivetree]

It was a pleasure to be focusing on this work for a significant part of my #PhD at @itqbnova. Special thanks to my supervisor @InsCardosoPere1, as well as @cmota_15, @RitaRManuel, and all the authors involved in this work🥳

[Ana Rita Oliveira @AnaOlivetree]

This mechanism is reversible in vivo and conserved in other FDH from anaerobic bacteria, likely conferring fitness advantage during transient O2 exposure. Additionally, it is a great advantage for the application of this enzyme in biotechnological approaches. +

[Inês Cardoso Pereira @InsCardosoPere1]

So happy to see these results finally published in @nchembio! Very proud of the great work by @AnaOlivetree @cmota_15 and coworkers revealing how an FDH can withstand oxygen exposure.👏🍾@itqbnova @FCTNOVA @BIP6_Marseille @LS4FUTURE @i4HBio

🚨🚨New Preprint alert🚨🚨
Ever wondered what would happen if >1 million variants of your favorite biocatalyst compete in hunger-games style selections? Then you are in luck, as the amazing @suzanne__jansen has just done that!

@StephanHacker2 @narf42 Thanks so much, I am glad you appreciate the work. It was really nice to share this project with the #iupacchains2023 community 😊

[Ana Rita Oliveira @AnaOlivetree]

The last few days were spent surrounded by a great community and full of amazing science #Biotrans2023
It was great to discuss our work (@narf42). It ended in a really nice way #posterprize, I am grateful 😃

[narf42 @narf42]

To find out more about our work, go and find Rita @AnaOlivetree, who is presenting her fantastic results at #Biotrans2023 on poster number 831!!
