Super excited to see the final version of our newest adventures in Au(III)-mediated cysteine arylation out in @J_A_C_S today! This paper has something for everyone – organometallic complex synthesis, detailed kinetics, DFT calculations, and bioconjugation!

Happy to share our newest preprint from @group_maynard where we demonstrate the ability to tune dearomatization energies to control amine release rates! Another example of the synergy that computations and experimentation can provide in your research🖥️🧪

Exciting day of celebration - among inductees into @americanacad Class I Section 3: Chemistry include @AidaTakuzo @HeatherDMaynard @JLsessler and Claudia Turro - congratulations!

Check out this fabulous work from the @waterslab_UNC (Both past and present)! Through use of high throughput screening, genetic code expansion, and energy decomposition analysis, we were able to challenge paradigms surrounding Kme3 reader protein binding. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Our team (with @group_maynard and @houk1000) reports the development of the fastest known abiotic Cys bioconjugation enabled by organometallic Au(III) reagents. Rates are over 10^4 M^-1s^-1, which allows for rapid bioconjugation at picoM concentrations! See our preprint for more details: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…. And DM me if you want to try any of these.

🎉Exciting news! Prof. Patrick Harran takes the helm as new Director/PI of UCLA Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Predoctoral Research Training Program. A big round of applause for outgoing Director @HeatherDMaynard for her outstanding tenure since 2011! bit.ly/CBI_News

Honoured to receive the @warwickchem best PhD thesis award for 2023. This is thanks to all my colleagues and collaborators and the most fantastic PhD advisor I had the pleasure to work with!
Congrats to @Georgiou_PG who was awarded the @warwickchem Thesis Prize for his PhD work in the team as part of the @nanocarbproject . 🎉👏

Our work on transition metal free C-H borylation using boron cluster electrophilic reagents is out, right in time for the ACS meeting. Stop by on Monday at the Hawthorne Award Symposium session honoring Kit Cummins if you want to hear more on this story. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I am incredibly sad to hear of Sammy Mensah's passing. The world has lost a terrific person. @BlackInChem @uclachem
Maynard Group retweeted
Sammy was an outstanding graduate student, activist and friend. She was an integral member of OCDS formerly serving in many leadership roles including President. The gap that this loss leaves is huge and OCDS commits to honor her incredible legacy and work at UCLA and beyond(1/2)

It is with utmost sorrow and heavy hearts to announce the passing of our President and Co-Founder of BlackinChem, Samantha “Sammy” Mensah. She was a phenomenal activist, leader, inventor, science communicator. and a doctoral candidate in chemistry at UCLA. (1/3)

Huge congrats to @Cowboy_Chemist (PhD alum of @group_maynard and our group) on receiving Norma Stoddart Award today from @sirfrasersays himself. It was a delightful day learning about Marco’s recent work with @christhechang as well as catching up with Fraser!!!
