Alright everybody, what will undoubtedly forever be the lab's strangest discovery is now out in Nature. It's a protein that evolved to self-assemble into a Sierpinski fractal. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/n

We are finalizing the program for the 4th Virtual Virtual ChemBio Talks with keynotes by Carroll Lab and Kai Johnsson.

Already block your calendars for September 24th, 2024, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. CEST.

If you are a PhD or postdoc, apply for a Flash Talk: …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/14…

Genetically encoding negatively charged lysine PTMs succinylation/glutarylation and studying their funcional roles! Great team effort by first authors Marie-Lena Jokisch and Maria Weyh! Congrats Maria Weyh Marie-Lena Jokisch Max Fottner and Anh! 🥳🤩🙌👨‍🔬🧑‍🔬 Kathrin Lang

We are excited and proud to share that Johannes received the prestigious Otto Warburg Medal 2024 in recognition for our pioneering work on protein structure formation and the role of chaperones from the GBM e.V.. Of course we are especially looking forward to the upcoming party!!

We’re honoring the legacy of Judith Klinman, a trailblazer in enzyme catalysis research & champion for #WomenInSTEM . She was the first female professor in the physical sciences UC Berkeley & received numerous accolades for her research. #WomensHistoryMonth

Finally! After a long journey our latest NRPS engineering story is out at science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… thanks to the hard work of several members from the @HelgeBode_lab

Congratulations, Helena, Luca and Katharina! We are very proud of the triple honours: Helena Schulz-Mirbach, Luca Schulz and kathaRiNA Höfer at the GBM conference #MosbacherKolloquium GBM e.V. ! Press release: mpi-marburg.mpg.de/1372337/2024-0…

Registrations and abstract submissions for the #LCP2024 #photochemistry are open. We are looking forward to welcoming up to 220 photochemists Mainz University.

🎉📝Andi's new publication is online in Angew. Chem Int. Ed.! 🌟The ring-contraction of flavins was key to discovering new photocatalysts. Keep up the great work!👏

Check it out in Angewandte Chemie!

It's been three years since the revolutionary announcement of AlphaFold2, and Roberto Chica Lab and I discuss at Nature Biotechnology whether such a moment will take place in protein engineering too. Optimistic for the future - but with loads of challenges to address!

The last chapter of my thesis is now out in Nature Chemistry! With Ken Houk, we engineered two carbene transferases to catalyze the intramolecular CP of benzothiophene substrates. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Our university is participating with three initiatives for new #ClustersofExcellence , which have successfully prevailed in the pre-selection and are now invited to submit full proposals: go.tum.de/844725 👏
