New paper today in @ScienceMagazine shows Nudix hydrolase 5 protein binds adenosine, making some people sensitive to some chemo drugs. Maybe it binds NAD too, and this could desensitize patients to the toxicity

Check out our new paper @NatureChemistry where we use microfluidics to identify a mini enzyme from a de novo designed library giving a plausible scenario for emergence of enzymatic function at #OriginOfLife by #DirectedEvolution!

Biocatalysts make chemical industry more sustainable but engineering enzymes is too slow! Check out our preprint @hollfelderlab where we show how microfluidics & AI can help: We rapidly sequence-function profile an IRED in microdroplets and use AI to accelerate its engineering⚡️

Check out our latest preprint @hollfelderlab presenting a versatile cascade for enzyme screening in microfluidic droplets! We hope coupled assay like this will make microfluidics more accessible reducing cost and speeding up sustainable biocatalyst discovery timelines 🌱⏰

Really excited to share the most recent preprint from the @hollfelderlab, a new fluorescence assay for NAD(P)H quantification that helps to bridge the gap between plate and droplet screening for enzymes with @MaxGantz_ and Jamie Klein. (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…). When applying

Amazing virtual talk by @klanglab at #ESBOC56 @ESBOC_Gregynog. She talked about her group's work on expanding the functions of proteins with non-canonical amino acids. Great applications in bioconjugations, crosslinking and defined ubiquitin conjugates. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
