Happy to have contributed to this work from @schmittlab-ucla.bsky.social @schmittwitt.bsky.social who developed a new malonyl-CoA fluorescent biosensor!
I am so excited to share our FIRST preprint from @schmittlab-ucla.bsky.social! We describe the development of an FP-based biosensor for malonyl-CoA & use our new sensor to study inhibition of fatty acid biosynthesis. This work was a collaborative effort within the lab & with @tarateslaa.bsky.social
