Well, now it feels officially, officially official (I think it’s the hat)

50,000+ enzyme variants tested. A new catalytic mechanism. A highly interconnected, substrate-dependent network of amino acid interactions discovered. Blood, sweat, tears (mine). This story has it all, folks: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23… @PNASNews @PalzkillLabBCM

So happy to share this story and that I was able to play a small part in it! We discovered and validated highly potent small molecule inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, including variants that show resistance to current antiviral treatments.
A new type of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitor is discovered by DNA-encoded chemical library screening, reported by @bcmhouston & @DamianYoung29 & @Srini_Chamakuri & @PalzkillLabBCM nature.com/articles/s42004-0…

I’m so glad I got to share my science at the #3MT finals this week! Take three minutes to give it a listen, if you’re curious what protein engineering has to do with getting dressed in the morning 🧐 youtu.be/v1EyJK6n_x4
