Great collaboration with @derda_lab@RatmirDerda just posted to bioRxiv. Check out how to best incorporate electrophiles into cyclic peptides to generate covalent inhibitors. https://t.co/nCncmTltyO
Our work identifying new covalent inhibitors of Staphylococcus aureus serine hydrolyses from fragment libraries is out! great work by
@tulsiupadhyay.bsky.social and our many collaborators, including @christianslentz.bsky.social, @mfellnerlab.bsky.social.

Another big publication from @sijiewang.bsky.social this week. Check out our efforts to use mRNA display to screen for covalent binding inhibitors of Staphylococcus aureus serine hydrolases. https://t.co/jpgFagjqeV
Amazing work by @sijiewang.bsky.social and our collaborators is out in JACS today. Interested in covalent inhibitors of protein-protein interactions? Check it out. https://t.co/7Ww5sqFLhE
This work is exciting because increased proteolysis in the gut has been shown to be associated with IBD but no specific proteases have been identified. This new protease could be a viable target for new therapeutics that can control pain and inflammation in many types of IBDs.
Excited to report our studies that identified a new serine protease secreted by the gut microbe Bacteroides fragilis that regulates pain and inflammation through PAR2 activation. Check it out!https://t.co/Ph4YGvrrC8
This is the result of a project initiated by my super talented former postdoc Markus Lakemeyer @MLakeme and a collaboration with Nigel Bunnett’s lab at NYU. Outstanding work by many people including Alan Lomax at Queen’s University in Canada, Kristyna Blazkova and Rocco Latorre.
👀“Vergent Bioscience Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for Abenacianine for Injection (VGT-309) to Help Surgeons Visualize Tumors in the Lung During Surgery”
This molecule was developed in Matthew Bogyo’s Stanford lab! @VergentBio@mbogyo
These serine hydrolases are unique to Staphylococcus bacteria and we think play important roles in mobilization of lipids for processes such as biofilm formation. These new compounds will help us to further dissect their functions.
Check out our latest work identifying covalent fragments as inhibitors of the Fph serine hydrolases in S. aureus. Great work from @TulsiUpadhyay5 and our many collaborators. https://t.co/ZNaPo79BW9
