ICYMI in @ACSCentSci: Novel biopolymer produced by bacterial enzyme is biodegradable and may be biocompatible. From team incl. @spencemacdon @withlabb @ubcscience, @YasuoYoshikuni @jgi, @jbei @LBNLBioSci @advlightsource @BerkeleyLab. @doescience #synbio https://t.co/WYUk7b4eOL

[AdvancedLightSource @advlightsource]

Researchers discovered an enzyme that synthesizes a biopolymer similar to chitin, but linked in a different way. The polymer is biodegradable and may be biocompatible, with potential applications ranging from medical therapeutics to plastic alternatives. https://t.co/jfxlWNHNyd

Interesting paper in the April 19 2022 issue of EMBO Journal reporting that alpha-glucans and malto-oligosaccharides can be ubiquitinated. May be a mechanism for removing polyglucosan accumulation

Withlab member @spencemacdon sat down with @azom to talk about the discovery of the new biopolymer, acholetin.

[AZoM @azom]

AZoM speaks to Dr. Spence Macdonald from @ABOzymes about his discovery of a novel #biopolymer, acholetin, synthesized from a bacterial enzyme: https://t.co/UFBa2d0dd9 #acholetin #bacteria #enzymes

[Twist Bioscience @TwistBioscience]

Novel bacterial enzyme discovered by @withlabb makes new polysaccharide similar to the biopolymer chitin. The new molecule is biodegradable and could be useful for drug delivery, tissue engineering and other biomedical applications. @UBCchem @ubcscience

#ASAP by Stephen Withers & team @withlabb @UBCChem
The identification of a novel glycoside phosphorylase enzyme led to the discovery of a new biodegradable polysaccharide named acholetin: https://t.co/Q9WW3nSl5H

[American Chemical Society @AmerChemSociety]

A new study in @ACSCentSci describes a bacterial enzyme that can make a new type of polysaccharide with wide-ranging potential as a new type of biocompatible, biodegradable material. https://t.co/o3CbiV4a9Y

[GlycoNet @glyconet_nce]

Congratulations to GlycoNet researcher Stephen Withers @withlabb & team on this discovery! Acholetin, a new type of biodegradable polysaccharide, could be useful for drug delivery, tissue engineering & other biomedical applications.
