We have a new Dr ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“in the @klanglab! Many congrats Toni, Dr. Murnauer, we are very proud of you! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š and many thanks to co-examinator @StephanHacker2 who came all the way from Leiden and to @mvkovalenko for chairing the committee! ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌโš—๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ #tetrazines #DMBO #bioorthogonal
It was great to be at @ETH Zurich for the PhD defense of Anton Murnauer of the @klanglab. He performed a lot of exciting science on genetic code expansion and bioorthogonal chemistry. Congratulations, Dr. Murnauer, and thank you, @klanglab, for inviting me doi.org/10.1002/anie.2019082โ€ฆ

SucK and GluK can be encoded co-translationally as temporarily masked thioester derivatives. They regulate enzymatic activity of metabolic enzymes (GAPDH), protein-protein interactions (Ub signaling) and DNA-protein intereactions (DNA clamp loading) #PTMs, #GCE @NatureChemistry

Straight to the face ๐Ÿ‘Š Nice collaboration with @houk1000 and @Click_Chemist! Small cycloalkane fusions enhance the cycloaddition reactivity of dibenzocyclooctynes (especially towards tetrazines ๐Ÿฉท) Many congrats to Toni and Dennis! ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป #bioorthogonal doi.org/10.1039/D3SC05789E

Oh yes!! Waiting and rooting for this for years! DNA synthesis/Marvin Caruthers...there would be no molecular biology without! Maybe 2023 is the year! ๐Ÿ’ช #chemnobel
It's #chemnobel season, so your reminder that DNA synthesis/Marvin Caruthers needs to win! Without DNA synthesis there is NO *PCR*, *sequencing*, *cloning*, *CRISPR*, *siRNA*, *synthetic biology*, *mRNA vaccines*, *nucleic acid therapeutics*, *Nanotech* What more am I missing?
