When there was a challenge to reproduce mechanochemistry experiments to make a dehydroalanine peptide, we found liquid-assisted grinding helps obtain the product more reliably for this particular case! Published in @OrgBiomolChem https://t.co/5Rz0OVZinG

By borrowing awesome mechanochemical Birch reduction of Profs. Kubota and @haj19932469, we tried chemical modification of phenylalanine in peptides! Diels-Alder reaction to potentially label the reduced aromatic ring. @JOC_OL https://t.co/Sso5DVyU2K

Diketopiperazines are peptides and also heterocycles like nucleobases. They often show up in prebiotic chemistry research, but are they really important? Check out a review from our group @AsianJOrgChem

Holy electrophilic amine 🤯!!! Excited to have my *first* first-author paper live in ACS Cat today. I can’t wait to see what our lab and others continue to do with N-halamines!

It may sound weird but recent bioconjugation methods often rely on a gas... Check out our collaborative review with @BallResearch. Published @ChemEurJ

A classical Friedel-Crafts reaction may not be biocompatible partly because acid catalysts are needed. Our work @JACS_Au showed a boron unit makes it "catalyst-free" for tryptophan bioconjugation! The century-old reaction still has a lot going on!

A cyclic peptide found in meteorite may undergo mechanochemical reactions with formaldehyde! The first prebiotic chemistry paper from our group published in ACS Bio&Med Chem Au. https://t.co/NLgCO8SnGs

Our collaborative review paper with the @K_Oisaki & Sato labs about catalysis of protein bioconjugation was published @ChemCatChem
See how 7 types of catalysis were used for modification of proteins!

Serine has diverse roles in living systems, but development of serine labeling tools has been a challenge. Our work published @ChemEurJ achieved chemoselective serine acylation in an unbiased manner!

The beginning of a professor job can be difficult. Fortunately for Jun, Laura (https://t.co/Wm60kjapv7) has been in the same department, providing great support and wisdom. You wouldn’t regret voting for her for the ACS president! (Please repost this to support her if possible!)

@WangGroupURICHM @NuruzzamanNibir @bcolella219 @rsc_chembio Thank you, Fang!

[Ohata Lab @OhataLab]

Our metal-free tryptophan labeling paper by @NuruzzamanNibir and @bcolella219 is published in @rsc_chembio
as part of the Emerging Investigators collection!
Cell lysate modification in HFIP was compared with aqueous lysine and cysteine modification.
