Structure & Function of a Dehydrating Condensation Domain in NRP #Biosynthesis by Jon Patteson, Camille Fortinez, Andrew Putz, Juan Rodriguez-Rivas, Henry Bryant, Kamal Adhikari, Martin Weigt, @SchmeingLab @CRBSMcGill, @LiLabUNC @uncchemistry in @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
✅ Blueberry pigmentation ✅ Molecule separation This Saturday, April 9 at NC Science Expo, UNC scientists have prepared activities that are fun for the whole family. Very special thanks to professor Bo Li’s lab for giving us a sneak peek! Expo info: moreheadplanetarium.org/program/expo/ 🥼
Guess that metal… no peaking!
Congrats to Jon Patteson, Bo Li, and @LiLabUNC, @uncchemistry collaborators for their fabulous Fluopsin C biosynthesis paper in Science (along with Lizhi Tao and some interesting Cu(II) EPR/ENDOR) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Excited about the human microbiome and small molecule therapeutics? The Balskus Lab is still accepting applications for an open Research Assistant position! Apply here: bit.ly/31HebSj
Natural products are everywhere! Stop by the @UNC medicinal plant garden for more fun natural product facts 🌱🧪
For those of you who don’t know, there are two Rachel Johnson’s in our lab! Congrats to @sprachel_here (also known as Rach Max)

The Balskus Lab is hiring! We are searching for a Research Assistant and Staff Scientist to support our efforts to develop gut microbiota-targeted therapeutics. Please spread the word! microbialchemist.com/lab-news/2020/…
Check out this newly published "Matter of Opinion" article by Sci-athon director, professor, and hype-woman @abigailsknight! Abby takes us through the development of the first two #sciathon competitions- we can't wait to see what Sci-athon 2021 brings! cell.com/matter/fulltex…
Check out the latest @BradMoore_SIO and George lab collaboration that combines decades of natural product chemistry, total synthesis, biosynthetic enzymology and biocatalysis! Huge shout out to @laurenammurray for spearheading this comprehensive review! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Our last issue of the decade is out today! 🍾 John Gerlt's second (annual?) Current Topics in Mechanistic Enzymology Special Issue includes contributions from #FutureofBiochemistry 2018's @LiLabUNC, EAB member John Kozarich, @Dr_Feradical, and more! pubs.acs.org/toc/bichaw/58/…
In lieu of our regular group meeting, we participated in scientific outreach training as a lab group! It was a fun, hands-on experience and got us to thinking — What are the most effective and engaging methods you’ve used to excite the public about your research?
Thanks Nick! A nice summary of our work. Read more about our characterization of new natural products produced by the aze cluster in @JOC_OL
