Escherichia coli ribosomes support translation of (R) and (S) β2-hydroxyacids in vitro: a structural and biochemical study
The ribosomal incorporation of backbone-modified amino acid analogs into peptides and proteins enables the programmed synthesis of sequence-defined biopolymers with tunable properties. However, the su...

Feels hard to write about anything other than *gestures broadly* but I did just finish the roll of parafilm I bought at the start of my PhD. Can I redeem this for a fun shirt or a donut?

Thioesters Support Efficient Protein Biosynthesis by the Ribosome
Thioesters are critical chemical intermediates in numerous extant biochemical reactions and are invoked as key reagents during prebiotic peptide synthesis on an evolving Earth. Here we asked if a thio...

I'm gonna be co-op-ing with the chemical biotechnologies group at Merck this summer and early fall!

Really excited for this opportunity and grateful for all the people who helped make this possible

If youre in NYC, hit me up to discuss protein engineering, synbio, and genetic code expansion!

An exciting collaboration with our friends at Amgen and Schrödinger to demonstrate incorporation of multiple extended backbones in a protein in vivo ✨

Congrats to @nxhamlish.bsky.social and the rest of the team!

Incorporation of Multiple β<sup>2</sup>-Hydroxy Acids into a Protein <italic toggle="yes">In Vivo</italic> Using an Orthogonal Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase
The programmed synthesis of sequence-defined biomaterials whose monomer backbones diverge from those of canonical α-amino acids represents the next frontier in protein and biomaterial evolution. Such ...
