Interested in learning how dyes might help in characterizing protein activity?

We're excited to share the development of a protein-adaptive DSF platform (paDSF), a dye-based method used to interrogate stability, dynamics, and ligand binding!

#NOBCChE50 was such a fulfilling experience. Being able to present my work and meet so many amazingly brilliant black chemists and engineers inspires me so much!

The next 50 years of @NOBCChE is extremely bright⭐️

Continuing our interest in noncanonical amino acid synthesis, we developed a chemoenzymatic approach to azacyclic noncanonicals with additional terminal branching, allowing access to >20 AA products. Kudos to Tsung-Han, Xiangyu and Yu for this work!

[Aweon Richards 👩🏾‍🔬 @aweon_rich]

Had a great time at my first @GordonConf! Learned a lot about HTP technologies, got to connect with amazing scientists, and share my current research project.

A major thank you to the Carl Storm Fellowship for sponsoring this trip!
