I’m honored to receive the 2021 ICDD Ludo Frevel Crystallography Scholarship in recognition of my development of new protein crystallography methods!

Extremely proud of Mirkin Group graduate student Peter Winegar, who was just awarded the prestigious Ludo Frevel Crystallography Scholarship from the ICDD. Congratulations, Peter! Chad A.

Thank you again to ICDD for this award and recognition!

I was excited to help organize these mini-grants to help cover COVID-related expenses of Northwestern Chemistry PhD students! Big thanks to support from Northwestern PLU, WISER Northwestern, Northwestern RSSI, and GLC!

We're pleased to announce that we, along with Northwestern RSSI, WISER Northwestern, and GLC, were able to give out almost $5,000 in COVID grants to Northwestern Chemistry students. Thanks to all who were involved in making this possible!

Had a great time working with Benjamin Partridge on this protein-DNA crystallography project!

@PeteWinegar and my collab project. Modular, sequence-defined, molecularly pure protein oligomers. What's awesome is these constructs have molecular weights around 900 kDa, and we didn't use recombinant protein expression. Mirkin Group Chad A. Mirkin cell.com/chem/fulltext/…

Collaborated with Adrian Figg to establish this modular method to create sequence-encoded protein oligomers. Without modifying proteins or our DNA scaffold, we made many different oligomeric constructs with up to 5 proteins! Mirkin Group Chad A. Mirkin authors.elsevier.com/c/1fXFK8jWHEDd…

@PeteWinegar, Adrian Figg, Michelle Teplensky, and Namrata Ramani introduce a general methodology for organizing proteins into molecularly well-defined oligomers using DNA in Chem! tinyurl.com/mt5ptph6 Chad A.

Congrats @PeteWinegar and @See_adrian_figg on their work in the Mirkin Group! They designed a modular DNA scaffold to program the assembly of proteins into monodisperse, sequence-encoded oligomers. No changes to the DNA scaffold or proteins are needed! doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

Awesome to see Adrian Figg ‘s perspective on our recent work!

Heading to Indianapolis for #ACSSpring2023 today! I am presenting tomorrow, at SciMix Monday, and on Wednesday. Kyle will present our collaborative work on Wednesday as well! I’m excited to hear from everyone and to share what we have been working on in the Mirkin group!

Extremely proud of my mentee Jenny for her selection as a NSF GRFP winner!

New preprint! Foldy is an open-source web app for interactive structure analysis. Research groups can set up their own Foldy instance so any member can easily predict structures with AlphaFold, dock ligands with DiffDock or Vina, and more! Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

These 21 #2024NewInvestigators span a diversity of projects ranging from the resilience of desert grasslands to the metabolic savviness of microbial ecosystems at the forest floor & along ocean shores.

Plant terpenoids could become non-hazardous pesticides, biofuels & biomaterial if we can scale production. Pete Winegar of UC Berkeley will obtain whole genome sequences for 2 plants to studybioproduction in model plants & microorganisms. Jay Keasling Keasling Lab 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Anne Osbourn

Honored to be selected as a 2024 CSP New Investigator Award winner and excited to collaborate with the JGI!

We are so happy to share our postdoc Peter Winegar won the CSP New Investigator Award by @JGI! In an international collaboration with the JGI, @JayKeasling, and Anne Osbourn, Peter will uncover the genome of Veratrum plants, a source of potent medicines. 1/2

Proud to share our team’s total microbial biosynthesis of verazine and excited to keep making more plant natural products in yeast!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
