Congratulations to Australia on their sixth World Cup win. On the most important day of the biggest stage, they played better cricket. Hard luck Team India, just one bad day in an otherwise sterling tournament can be heartbreaking. I can imagine the agony of the players, fans

We are thrilled to present a new #enzyme to the world, the first shown to break the man-made carbon-silicon bonds in #siloxanes, which are persistent in the environment. caltech.edu/about/news/tea…

Today ChemRxiv, we write about an ultrastable archaeal ether synthase. This was fun, long and very rewarding project on a really unusual enzyme! Let me tell you about it 👇🏼 Also, kudos to you if you've ever heard about this enzyme family. doi.org/10.26434/chemr… 1/12

Having enjoyed the paper from David R. Liu, Fischer Lab, and The Amit Choudhary Lab in Science Magazine this week, we have now posted our own, complementary, taken on a bump-and-hole approach to develop an orthogonal bumped IMiD-degron pair: biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

In the past 14 yrs of my research group, I have made a few policies for myself, which may be helpful to others: A 🧵 1) Any group member is free to criticize my input with reason. This has been one of the most liberating experience. Importantly, it has helped me learn. 1/n

My lab athavalegroup.org is looking for postdoc candidates eligible for the 2024-25 Fulbright Fellowship usief.org.in/Fulbright-Nehr… UCLA, we have exciting projects in organic chemistry, biocatalysis, protein engineering and synthetic biology. Eager to hear from you!

Our collaboration with the Declamp and @jrcaram groups on SWIR Silicon-RosIndolizine fluorophores is now available in Nature Chemistry ! Congrats to Eric, Irene, and the whole team!! 🌟🥳 UCLA Chem & Biochem nature.com/articles/s4155…

Check out our work that just appeared in J. Am. Chem. Soc. on the development of the fastest organometallic Cys bioconjugation reagents: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…. Shout out to many UCLA Chem & Biochem collaborators on this project including: Maynard Group and Ken Houk.

Wonderful paper, really shows some disconnect between what academics perceive to be important and focus their teaching efforts on vs what the industry/market needs are. We’ve been thinking about it UCLA Chem & Biochem and created a UCLA-MACS program to address this disconnect.

What an honor to be chosen for the Priestley Medal. #Enzymes are the best chemists, of course, but the Priestley medalists are no slouches...and include many of my colleagues Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering. Thank you!

In a year with so little to cheer about so far, I am happy to share our manuscript on a copper-dependent halogenase. Unbelievable effort by GS Yorick Chiang and Scientist Ph.D Masao Ohashi at UCLA Chem & Biochem UCLA Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering . Thank you to all collaborators and @NIGMS. nature.com/articles/s4158…
