Happy to share our invited book chapter on marine natural products from Malaysia, Springer, 2025, pp 183-225 (doi.org/10.1007/978-...). Submission invited by Prof. Lik Tong Tan (NTU Singapore). Supported in part by EU project No. 101087181.
Marine Natural Products from Malaysia
Marine natural products are a rich source of chemically diverse and biologically active molecules. Over two decades (2001–2024), a total of 228 marine natural products have been reported from soft corals, red algae, sponges and cyanobacteria collected in...

Happy to share our recent works on cross-linking enzymes, ShyB and MpoB involved in RiPP biosynthesis | Organic Letters doi.org/10.1021/acs.... | RSC Chemical Biology doi.org/10.1039/D5CB...
P450 Biarylitide Synthase ShyB Catalyzes the Cross-Link Between His-C2 and Tyr-O4 on the Precursor Peptide
Biarylitides are a new class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) with the unique feature of biaryl C–C, C–N, or C–O cross-links installed by P450 biarylitide ...

Radical SAM Enzyme WprB Catalyzes Uniform Cross-Link Topology between Trp-C5 and Arg-Cγ on the Precursor Peptide
Cross-link containing products from ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are generated by radical SAM enzymes (rSAM). Here, we bioinformatically expanded rSAM enz...
