Tired of drawing biosynthetic pathways for your 15-module NRPS and PKS systems? Or are your eyes hurting from peering at stereocentres? Try visualising your biosynthetic diagrams automatically with RAIChU! jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/a… github.com/BTheDragonMaster/…

We have joined a DK branch of @TinyEarthNet where we will @nanopore sequence isolates, assemble genomes & do some bioinfo before returning some condensed output to students. Can you recommend tools that produce output that is both exciting and feasible for students to understand?

Our paper on the nanoRAPIDS platform is out in @CommsChem. The analytical pipeline nanofractionates 10 ul complex culture extract into 384 wells and then determines high-res mass and bioactivity of all peaks. doi.org/10.1038/s42004-024-0…

Our new paper is just out now in ACS Chemical Biology! Here we uncover the transport pathway that the antimicrobial lasso peptide cloacaenodin uses to be able to kill susceptible bacteria. This helps explain the narrow-spectrum activity we observe. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Is everything bigger in #Texas?? Me & @BradMoore_SIO are stoked to unveil the “PKZILLAs”: Genes for the new largest known enzymes and proteins in #biology, from the Texan fish-killing alga Prymnesium parvum. PKZILLAs make their giant 90-carbon polyketide toxin, prymnesin! 🧵1/n
