@NitscheLab (@ANUChemistry) & colleagues @UOsaka_en open a new chapter for bismuth in chemical biology, introducing bioactive Bi-selenopeptides with exceptional stability. Even human EGF traps two Bi atoms — removal is nearly impossible! #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

We’ve been dreaming of this type of conjugation chemistry for years—and finally, a simple fix to a stubborn problem, all thanks to just a tiny drop of CS₂. Minimalist chemistry is the new gold. ✨
@gongchenlab have been hunting for ways to crosslink two different amines for conjugation: turns out that just a drop of CS₂ in air delivers great results! Read on in their Research Article: • onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

😊Delighted to share our latest #publication in collab with Dr. Rajendra Karki & colleagues from @SeoulNatlUni. In this @NatureComms paper, we show that #acrolein, a byproduct of our cells but also found in #cigarette smoke, #kills cells & contributes to #inflammation @ourANU 1/3

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Here’s a paper that was many years in the making. The idea that the climate can affect the thermodynamic mechanism of binding due to the temperature dependence of the entropy term is interesting- we see gradual shift in binding mode along evo trajectory
