@chembiotalks.bsky.socialAfter today's very successful 6th Virtual #ChemBioTalks with more than 250 attendees, we already look ahead.
Block your calendars for the 7th Virtual #ChemBioTalks on September 28th, 2027. We are very happy to have keynotes by Alanna Schepartz and Shankar Balasubramanian.

@stephanhacker2.bsky.socialHow can enzymes be used for novel chemical transformations?
Michelle Chang (@mchanggroup.bsky.social) gave an inspiring keynote lecture at the @chembiotalks.bsky.social including exciting insights into CH-activation reactions.

@chembiotalks.bsky.socialThe 6th Virtual #ChemBioTalks come to an end with an inspiring keynote lecture by Michelle Chang (@mchanggroup.bsky.social).
She talked about her group's amazing work on using enzymes for synthetic chemistry: "Discovery and engineering of new enzymes for biocatalysis".
@chemistryworld.com‘A lot of creators, me included, moved into that space because it’s where the audience is, not because a 15-second dopamine-optimised video is a good format for teaching mechanisms & nuance in science,’ says Tamara Ewing.

@stephanhacker2.bsky.socialFascinating chemistry is needed to make the best fluorophores for single molecule imaging.
At the @chembiotalks.bsky.social, Luke Lavis (@rhodamine110.bsky.social) talked about his group's exciting contributions to this field.

@mevans86.bsky.socialOh my goodness, this blew my mind. The rate of radical scavenging by kinetin depends on the concentration of its deprotonated form, so a plot of log(k) versus pH looks like a titration curve...! #chemsky
@waynestatechem.bsky.social#PhDdone! Dr. Md Masudur Rhaman successfully defended his dissertation yesterday at #wsuchemistry and is the 34th PhD to be hatched from the Brock Lab. He completed his work under the guidance of Professor Stephanie Brock. Congratulations, Dr. Rhaman! #chemsky
@stephanhacker2.bsky.socialGreat talk by Tomáš Pluskal (@pluskal-lab.org) at the #ChemBioTalks.
He presented #omics, #bioinformatic and #MachineLearning methods to predict the function of enzymes on the example of terpene synthases.

@chembiotalks.bsky.socialInteresting talk by Tomáš Pluskal (@pluskal-lab.org) at the 6th Virtual #ChemBioTalks.
He gave exciting insights into plant natural products and the enzymes that make them: "Decoding the chemical universe of plants"
@nmr900.bsky.social@dereklowe.bsky.social Now That's An Impurity Story, a routine 0.06% HPLC impurity in efinaconazole turned out to be naturally occurring deuterium isotopologues, four possible D-for-H substitutions near the piperidine nitrogen, each at ~0.015% abundance www.science.org/content/blog... #chemsky 🧪
@chembiotalks.bsky.socialThe Flash Talks were again an absolute highlight of the Virtual #ChemBioTalks.
We heard three exciting talks on DNA nanodevices, protein labeling and degraders for bacterial proteins.
Congratulations again to all speakers for winning our Abstract Challenge.

@stephanhacker2.bsky.socialInteresting Flash Talk by Lars Stevens-Cullinane at the 6th Virtual @chembiotalks.bsky.social.
He presented a metal-dependent degrader strategy to address metallo-β-lactamases in Gram-negative bacteria.
