Amazing to have this come online on the day of my viva - will hopefully be able to celebrate the success of both (fingers crossed) by the end of the day!! 😅 🤞 🥳
“Molecular Machines For The Control Of Transmembrane Transport” perspective out in @J_A_C_S Congratulations @TobyJohnson144

Please check out our new review in Biochemistry @ACSPublications on aspartimides in RiPPs, led by Angela Zhu: doi.org/10.1021/acs.biochem.…. Happy to be part of the special issue on the chemistry and biology of peptides!
Excited to share my 1st first name paper from 🐅 @ajlinklab
We report the ability to rearrange #RiPP precursor peptides, expanding opportunities for engineering PTMs in vitro and in cellulo including mechanically interlocked peptides 🔗

It's that time of year again - @cenmag Molecule of the Year! There are some fascinating molecules in there so vote for your favourite. We aren't biased of course, but there's a cool-looking cyclo[48]carbon catenane in there...

⭕ Synthesising a new carbon allotrope
Amazing work from @HLAGroupOx, published this week in @ScienceMagazine: a cyclocarbon that is stable enough for spectroscopic characterisation in solution at room temperature.

Another paper that was supposed to be quick, but ended up taking 4 years. Bringing high throughput screening and machine learning to the field of synthetic anion transporters...
