This reminds me to mention that @KiesslingGroup has postdoctoral positions for researchers interested in using synthetic chemistry to study immunology and microbiology #chempostdoc.
Professors, I am begging you - please stop using the chemjobs tag for postdoctoral positions and PhD studentships. Instead, use the chempostdoc tag.

WOO for Wuo!🎊 @mike_wuo et al design a new probe to discover how the mycobacterial cell wall rearranges itself in the presence of antibiotics. Why won't the lipid bilayer just let these antibiotics in?? Find out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The traditional method for CPS derivatization involves periodate oxidation to generate aldehyde reactive groups for functionalization with carrier proteins. However, the method suffers from heterogeneity as well as structural changes and degradation of CPS.

Duke et al. used galactose oxidase for site-selective oxidation of C6 primary hydroxyl on the terminal galactose residues in CPS. Immunization with the ​homogeneous glycoconjugate ​displayed an improved humoral response.

Jeremy Duke I can't wait for your glyco-immunology talk! Join the @MITglycobio TODAY at 1 pm EST. DM for zoom link!
MITGlycoBio Club is excited to host Jeremy Duke from the lab of Prof. Fikri Avci at the University of Georgia on Dec 15 at 1 pm EST. Jeremy will be sharing his recent work on development of glycoconjugate vaccine. DM us for the zoom link.💉
