De novo enzyme design!!! | Amazing work from Anna, Sam David Juergens and all the co-authors! Computational design of serine hydrolases biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




Novel enzyme starts with promiscuity. Excited to share our study that shows how #evolution recruits a single enzyme for multiple purposes, showcasing the plasticity and flexibility of #metabolism. Huge thanks to my colleagues at SYBORG & Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology! rdcu.be/dXaqU


New in @EMBOjournal, we studied the evolution of essentiality in Form I Rubisco. While Georg Hochberg nicely summarizes the evolutionary implications of our work, let me summarize some of the cool biochemistry surrounding it. doi.org/10.1038/s44318… 🧵


We designed a new route from acetyl-CoA to pyruvate. Helena Schulz-Mirbach provided a nicely written 🧵 below. Thanks for a great collaboration Helena Schulz-Mirbach, Ari Satanowski and SYBORG

Glad to see my main PhD project finally out Nature Microbiology nature.com/articles/s4156… We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.


Huge congratulations to Franziska Sendker! mpi-marburg.mpg.de/1511259/2025-0…
