Excited to share our work on mirror-image reprogrammed mRNA display, out now in @J_A_C_S! We discovered a cyclic D-peptide ligand of CCL22 with nanomolar inhibition - by going through the looking glass, we ended up in D-wonderland 🪞✨ @ARC_CIPPS doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4c12057

Check out our work on peptide vaccines for SARS-CoV-2!
Excited to share with you @JoshWMaxwell's work with our longterm collaborator @A_Ashhurst on intranasal COVID vaccines! Fear of needles? No worries here. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We are thrilled to share new research published in @J_A_C_S today - the development of flow chemistry for the generation of modified proteins by expressed protein ligation. Just goes to show what you can do when you go with the flow! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac… @ARC_CIPPS

We are so proud of Dr Wade Petersen who is giving the Rising Star Africa Prize Lecture! He's travelled all the way to London, but for those in Oz, tune in to youtube.com/watch?v=axfYTLfz… at 5:30am, Wednesday 7th of February 2024 to listen to how he juggled chemistry during blackouts!
Join Dr Wade Petersen on 6 February for the Rising Star Africa Prize Lecture and explore how we can produce criticial medicines during a time of rapidly declining energy and resources, and hear of his experiences working through blackouts in South Africa: royalsociety.org/science-eve…

Check out our review on how creepy crawlies modify their proteins to drink your blood!🦟🩸
Accounts of Chemical Research article out now on our favourite post-translational modification and how it modulates anticoagulant activity from blood feeding organisms @ARC_CIPPS read here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

At the start of the pandemic we started thinking about an intranasal vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 using our favourite peptide adjuvant, Pam2Cys. Check out the impressive neutralising antibody titres elicited by our vaccine, paper out today in @Nature_Comms rdcu.be/cZIU6

We have developed an Expressed Protein Selenoester Ligation method that enables the rapid and efficient generation of homogeneously modified proteins at low concentrations of reaction partners. Published in @angew_chem today with @CFWBecker. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
