WOOO BIOCATALYSIS!!! 🥳🥳#biocatalySLAY

I know everyone and their rotovaps are reposting this on Chem Twitter right now, but the Kyle F. Biegasiewicz Lab and I need to spruce up our lab coats! Help a gal out! 👩‍🔬🧪🧬

KFB Lab Alert: The final version of our first exploration in enzymatic N-halogenation is now out in Angewandte Chemie! Congratulations to Manik Sharma and Zoe Patton for leading this effort! GO VHPOs!

Vaccines did this, btw

KFB Lab Alert: Our first report on chemoenzymatic diazo synthesis enabled by VHPO-mediated hydrazone oxidation is now available ChemRxiv! Congratulations to Manik Sharma and Yue Li for leading this effort and The Davis Lab for another fruitful collaboration!

BUILD THE STATUE

Serine has diverse roles in living systems, but development of serine labeling tools has been a challenge. Our work published ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal achieved chemoselective serine acylation in an unbiased manner! doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…

KFB Lab Alert: Huge congratulations to Elizabeth Gross (Elizabeth Gross) on advancing to PhD Candidacy! Excellent job, Elizabeth!

KFB Lab Alert: Enzymatic Halide Recycling for intermolecular bond formation is now online J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Congratulations to Manik Sharma, Cameron Pascoe, Stacey Jones, and Sophie Barthel! And huge thank you to The Davis Lab for an awesome collaboration! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

KFB Lab Alert: Huge congratulations to Sophie Barthel for passing her undergraduate Chemistry Honors Thesis Defense with HIGHEST HONORS! We are so proud of you, Sophie! Can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

Hey Siri, play “Pocket Full of Sunshine”. Happy Science Saturday!!!

Very excited to have our VHPO-catalyzed oxidative dimerization of thioamides highlighted Nature Synthesis by Peter Seavill! Thank you all so much! GO VHPOs!

Celebrating our !!!!!THREE!!!!! NSF GRFP honorable mentions the only way we know how (ice cream while it’s cold outside) Hyung Ji Lee Zoe Patton

Our collaborative review paper with the Kounosuke OISAKI | 生長 幸之助 & Sato labs about catalysis of protein bioconjugation was published ChemCatChem See how 7 types of catalysis were used for modification of proteins! doi.org/10.1002/cctc.2…

Does the reaction work? Meh 😒 Is the column pretty? Yeah 😋

At the GRS Conference in San Diego with JACS author (JACS 2025, 147, 10698) Manik Sharma from Emory University

Super honored to be part of this symposium at the Fall ACS Conference! Come check it out!

It’s been an awesome trip to Washington, DC with the crew! Very proud of this wonderful team of scientists!
