Thank you to Professor Emeritus Ken Ribet (Ken Ribet), of UC Berkeley, for making this year's Winston Ko Public Lecture memorable and intriguing! Kudos to everyone in the UC Davis Department of Chemistry (UC Davis Department of Chemistry) for organizing such an awesome event! #lectures #UCDavis #math

Welcome to this year's cohort of C-GEM Summer Undergraduate Research Program Scholars! #NSFfunded bit.ly/3yTdDeH

Chemo-ribosomal synthesis of atropisomeric and macrocyclic peptides with embedded quinolines: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… Congrats to Isaac Knudson, Taylor Dover, Diondra Dilworth, Cameron Paloutzian, and Hannah Cho, Miller Group Schepartz Lab and NSF Center for Genetically Encoded Materials.

Today in @nature, we discover a new enzyme in mammalian taurine metabolism- and uncover a chemical connection between diet, genetics, and body weight. Congrats Wei Wei (魏伟) Sarafan ChEM-H Stanford Pathology Michael Fischbach Cholsoon Jang SvenssonLab Lingyin Li Lab nature.com/articles/s4158…

Check out our most recent work developing new strategies that leverage massive mRNA-displayed macrocyclic peptide libraries for covalent ligand discovery! Congrats Tong Lan and thanks for Matthew Bogyo and Scott Snyder for collaboration! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Grateful I could share a bit about my interests in the chemistry and biology of unnatural peptides in the Fall UCB Miller Institute newsletter! Check it out:

We have a postdoc position available for a very cool collaborative project! Synthetic chemistry expertise is a must! Unfortunately due to the funding source, this position is only available to US citizens or permanent residents. Please share and reach out if interested!

ncAAs can endow proteins with new activities, but their incorporation efficiencies during translation can be poor. Today in Nature Biotechnology, we report that altering mRNA codon usage can improve incorporation efficiency, yielding proteins with up to 3 ncAAs! nature.com/articles/s4158…
