We’re looking for protein engineers, molecular biologists, and biocatlysis experts who are excited about leveraging enzymes and cutting-edge technologies for greener, more efficient pharmaceutical processes.
This New Jersey-based role
Emergence of a distinct mechanism of C–N bond formation in #photoenzymes by Felix C. Raps @felix_raps, Ariadna Rivas-Souchet, Chey M. Jones @CheyMJones, and Todd K. Hyster @HysterLab at @PrincetonChem https://t.co/z5lOfovJrF
My team at Deepmind (protein design) is hiring an experimentalist with enzyme expertise. Please RT and/or apply! I'm happy to answer any questions as well. https://t.co/2acSQJX4At
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
Challenging oxidations? Oxygen-dependent #enzymes reduce our environmental impact. In our latest pre-print we share the process development of a scalable aerobic oxidation process leading to the aldehyde in the synthesis of islatravir. 🌱💊 https://t.co/2RC6ww5YL5
Ever wondered what it takes to transform an enzymatic reaction on a small scale to a full-fledged industrial process? Our journey with nucleosides—Islatravir and Molnupiravir—has been a wild rollercoaster ride!

Online today in #OPRD! ADC conjugation empowered by data-rich technologies, continuous flow and high-throughput experimentation, using tool molecule collections of non-toxic linker/payload mimics. #merckchemistry@emmertlab@cecibottecchia Read it here ⤵️ https://t.co/PJxdhlg4Ql
Thoroughly enjoyed the 2024 #Biocatalysis#GRC! Great job @FlitschSabine and Carlos Martinez. Bring on the 2026 meeting with me and Dörte Rother as vice-chairs! Very excited to work with chairs @sBiosChem and Radka Snajdrova as well as GRS chairs @hairofthehogg and @MaxGantz_!
Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind
We publish our second paper on pyridoxal biocatalysis in Nature: We repurposed PLP-dependent threonine aldolases to catalyze radical C-C coupling reactions that are not known in either organic chemistry or enzymology: https://t.co/ZgagtQ56BK
It's pretty sweet the team paid attention to the trace peak product in their control reaction and then rode with it! Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Self-recycling imine reductases? Yes please! Congrats to the Novartis team for turning a promiscuous Glucose Dehydrogenase into an IRED #biocatalysis#proteinengineering#greenchemistry | ACS Catalysis https://t.co/qkQvfPNfFC
Big congrats to Serge for trailblazing the field and merging the modes of #catalysis for enabling complex redox and ligation reactions with electrons. Here is another great example of his work https://t.co/dbMVnOac8R
Electrons ⚡ or oxygen🫧?Which of 🍃 green oxidants would you choose? Selected from an amazing list of nominations for his work on integrating #biocatalysis and electrochemistry, Serge Ruccolo from #Merck is the 2024 ACS Catalysis Lectureship Awardee! https://t.co/iOSuteyhhS
A perfect way to start the weekend! our paper on Electrochemical Activation of Galactose Oxidase is out now! We have had great fun with @hattoriheji and @SergeBFault merging the modes of #catalysis https://t.co/BTlP65ZFLM #biocatalysis#electrocatalysis

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. Also true for enzymes.
