...And also an accompanying paper by @YeyingZhang et al published in @J_A_C_S describing the complete #biosynthesis pathway of valinophos, the origins of new #phosphonate #naturalproduct scaffolds, unexpected ATP-Grasp ligase activities, and new metabolitc branch-points.
Valinophos Reveals a New Route in Microbial Phosphonate Biosynthesis That Is Broadly Conserved in Nature @OhioState @MicrobiologyOSU @OSUPharmacy @CAPS_OSU #Valinophos #Microbial #Biosynthesis #Conserved #Phosphonate pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
We’re delighted to publish our latest on #phosphonate #biosynthesis in @J_A_C_S! @YeyingZhang et al deciphered the complete pathway for the #antimicrobial #naturalproduct argolaphos, the origins of two non-canonical amino acids, and a new diverse group of oxygenase enzymes.

LAST CALL for apps for our new Genentech postdoc prog that accepts based on potential, rather than fit for a posted lab opening. We're esp interested in diverse backgrounds. Apps due Mon!
Comes with industry experience and a competitive postdoc salary ($80k)+benefits.

Congrats to my former WarpDrive Bio colleagues and team! Would be amazing for these compounds to find use in COVID-19 control!
Excited to share our recent #genomemining paper in @ChemicalBiology on discovery of the phosphonoalamides, antibacterial peptide natural products produced via a new route in #phosphonate biosynthesis. Congratulations to @Chase_lol @YeyingZhang
