McCarthy's proposed budget caps would lead to an immediate cut of 14%-31%, growing to 28%-58% below current services, depending on what happens to defense and VA medical care. That 31% first-year cut would leave appropriators $208 billion in the hole.

New e- pathway for radical SAM enzymes:
"In this work, we provide evidence that the substrate, in this case, heme, facilitates electron transfer from NADPH to the [4Fe-4S] cluster."

MAGA Republicans love to harp about “fiscal responsibility” while giving huge tax breaks to their wealthy friends and campaign donors.
A new @amprog report finds the Bush + Trump tax cuts are primarily responsible for the growth in the national debt.

My first report from @amprog is out! It's why I think fair analysis would say debt/GDP is rising due to tax cuts and NOT spending.
First, the big (and true) claim: without the Bush tax cuts, their extensions, & Trump tax cuts, debt/GDP would be declining.

Excited to share our group’s work on chemically modifying FeMo-co. Here we report our strategy to selectively enrich one of its seven Fe sites with 57Fe for mechanistic studies of the Mo nitrogenase. Big thanks to Dmitriy, Brian, Dan, and @srisantitham.

Check out the editorial by Cody @C___Lloyd and me for the 20-year anniversary of radical SAM virtual issue of ACS Bio & Med Chem Au @conway_group@ALavasanifar@ACSBioMed. Thanks to all the authors who contributed!! https://t.co/RrH4ucyhUS
The missing step in the formation of a lipid molecule that allows certain single-celled organisms to survive the most extreme environments on Earth has now been deciphered by a team of #PennState and @UofIllinois researchers led by @BookerMan_PSU. https://t.co/fx1Y1V2f4u @BMB_PSU
Very excited about our second contribution to ACS Bio & Med Chem Au, which describes studies on a novel system for generating the lipoyl cofactor (i.e. lipoic acid). This system consists of two proteins previously annotated as biotin synthases! https://t.co/zyfhP3RmEW
Viperin is a radical SAM protein that inhibits flaviviruses. But what do viperin-like enzymes do?
Lachowicz et al @EinsteinMed show these enzymes use the same "ddh-synthase" reaction, pointing to an evolutionarily conserved host defense strategy.
