Excited to share our recent #genomemining paper in Laura Kiessling on discovery of the phosphonoalamides, antibacterial peptide natural products produced via a new route in #phosphonate biosynthesis. Congratulations to Chase Kayrouz Yeying Zhang pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Genomic discovery of an evolutionarily programmed modality for small-molecule targeting of an intractable protein surface pnas.org/content/early/… Congrats to my former WarpDrive Bio colleagues and team! Would be amazing for these compounds to find use in COVID-19 control!

Brilliant piece from Sean B. Carroll in The Atlantic on my scientific heroes Jacques #Monod - a brilliant scientist and a man of the utmost integrity- check out Sean’s book ‘Brave Genius’ to find out more too theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

LAST CALL for apps for our new Genentech postdoc prog that accepts based on potential, rather than fit for a posted lab opening. We're esp interested in diverse backgrounds. Apps due Mon! Comes with industry experience and a competitive postdoc salary ($80k)+benefits.

Really nice obit for Tom Brock. RIP master environmental microbiologist. nytimes.com/2021/04/22/sci…

So it's been mentioned that our lab runs really long chromatography columns...

We’re delighted to publish our latest on #phosphonate #biosynthesis in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Yeying Zhang et al deciphered the complete pathway for the #antimicrobial #naturalproduct argolaphos, the origins of two non-canonical amino acids, and a new diverse group of oxygenase enzymes.

...And also an accompanying paper by Yeying Zhang et al published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. describing the complete #biosynthesis pathway of valinophos, the origins of new #phosphonate #naturalproduct scaffolds, unexpected ATP-Grasp ligase activities, and new metabolitc branch-points.
