Excited to see this work I first saw Sabina present at the Biocatalysis GRS this past summer online! Take a look to learn about a new subclass of sulfotransferases enabling stereoselective sulfation and chemoenzymatic conversion of amino alcohols to aziridines.

Super stoked to share this pre-print covering our work on some sulfotransferase enzymes with surprising stereoselectivity!

Specificity and Stereoselectivity of Cryptic Sulfotransferases
Sulfotransferases (STs) are ubiquitous enzymes found in all living organisms. These enzymes convert amines to sulfamates, and alcohols to sulfates, on a wide variety of biologically relevant molecules...
