In a study appearing in nature, UC Davis Department of Chemistry researchers from the Tantillo Lab step closer to mimicking nature’s mastery of #chemistry by harnessing aliphatic hydrocarbons: lettersandscience.ucdavis.edu/news/harnessin…




Happy to post this study on a new method for tryptophan labeling and its use to identify cation-pi interactions led by Xiao Shaw Xie and Patrick with Toste Group College of Chemistry UC Berkeley MCB in nature ! nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/n

🔊Check out our work in Science Magazine. We identify a new weak point (TCG codon) in the codon table of mammalian cells and recode it into non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) with impressive efficiency and selectivity. This strategy, rare codon recoding (RCR), is very different!


I feel incredibly honored to be selected as a Dean's Fellow at UC Davis Letters and Science! Grateful to my lab and my department at UC Davis Department of Chemistry for the support and effort that underlies this recognition!

Grateful for the opportunity share my thoughts and experiences on my journey to tenure in Trends in Chemistry ! Thank you to Dr Jess Pancholi for giving me the chance to share my voice. Take a look! authors.elsevier.com/a/1jQVG9CpcYaQ… #pathtotenure #profmomlife #academicjourney


Thank you R. David Britt! It was so wonderful getting to celebrate the milestone with this wonderful department! UC Davis Department of Chemistry! I was touched by all the support!

Thank you for the highlight Northwestern Chemistry !
