Very excited to share our latest paper! Excellent work by Ali and Kirsten on our lab's first aptamers for proteins! @SLUChemDept @SLU_SSE @SLUResearch @slu_idbi

Dr. Baum recently had the opportunity to present the Michael Johnson Seminar at @MaryvilleU and to share the great work happening in the lab! Thank you to Dr. Gifty Codjoe for the invitation!

It's a Baum Squad reunion! So happy to host Dr. Ismaila Emahi for our department seminar. It was wonderful to hear about his work since his time in the lab. @sluchemistry

@BaumLabSLU and Piotr Mak have identified key axial ligands in the heme-guanine quadruplex complex. Understanding function of non-canonical DNA structures such as G4 will inform rational design of biocatalysts, biosensors, and new drug targets. Read more doi.org/10.1016/j.jinorgbio.…
ALT Guanine quadruplexes are non-canonical DNA structures that can bind heme prosthetic group, resulting in heme-bound G-quadruplexes (heme-G4) that exhibit enhanced peroxidase activity and act as promising biocatalysts. Electronic absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopic studies demonstrate that the oxygen atom of the guanine base acts as a heme axial ligand.
Very excited to share our latest publication led by the Mak lab! @SLUChemDept @SLUResearch @SLU_SSE
Interactions between heme and G-quadruplex DNA involve the oxygen of guanine

Great work by Meghan and can't wait to see where this goes! #mwrm2024 instagr.am/p/DBJkNA3pPrF/
Great job by Trevor presenting our work on Flavin reduction potential-shifting aptamers! @SLUChemDept @SLU_SSE @BurkeLabRNA #mwrm2024
Excited to be a co-organizer for the biomolecular structure and function session at #mwrm2024
Oral presentation by Trevor this morning at 9 am

This summer we have had the pleasure of having Prosperine Murhwa-Nabintu in the lab. She did a wonderful job working with Trevor on our aptamer studies and we wish her well as she begins her undergraduate journey this fall! instagr.am/p/C-JAu18xDm6/
Ali's defense will be later this summer but we had his hooding today... He has to wait to learn the secret PhD handshake 🤫 instagr.am/p/C7FI_sRv636/
Super proud of Trevor! He gave a fantastic talk at #AbSciCon24
(also thanks to @slu_sse for a Deans travel award!) instagr.am/p/C6rZJG3RAoo/
Emily presenting at the SSE senior showcase! Not ready to share this story yet 🤫 instagr.am/p/C6KWqxWRAUW/
