A recent preprint from our lab about MOSAIC: a very easy protocol to make (short) mutations or libraries in plasmids much easier (no PCR, or assembly cloning needed), just electroporation with oligos! Probably useful for many in the field biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… spread the word!

A feeding electric eel can cause transfection of plasmids from the surrounding environment into nearby organisms - natural, eel induced, electroporation.

Really excited to share this work of my postdoc lab @PhilHolliger in which I was fortunate to make a small contribution to.

Lead by the incredible Ben Porebski, this work describes an ingenious way to collect massive protein sequence-function datasets.
New paper from my group out in xitter.cf/natBME. Outstanding work by Ben Porebski and great collaboration with xitter.cf/AstraZeneca. We describe a new high-throughput strategy for biomolecular discovery, which we call deep screening.

Curse and Blessing of Non-Proteinogenic Parts in Computational Enzyme Engineering (Fuerst et al.) @MaxFus #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
📣 We did a thing 📣
Are you a protein engineer working on enzymes dependent on cofactors, nuc acids, PTMs, or ncAAs? Check out why it's a great idea to computationally predict mutations, but why you should use your fav comp tool with extra caution 👉chemistry-europe.onlinelibra… 🧵👇
Luckily, in most cases, dedicated settings, manual adjustments, or crude hacks are described. We summarize common and exciting novel protein engineering workflows and outline what is known about how these tools can be used with enzymes featuring non-proteinogenic parts.
