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 doi.org/10.1039/D6OB00662K

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 doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.5c02…

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!

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 (laura4acs.org) 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!)

New JCE ASAP article! We surveyed industry chemists from 80 companies about the undergraduate instrumentation experience / skill development that best prepared them for chemical industry.
Happy first pub day to @DavidTHamilton and Alyssa Castillo!
