Amidines are an isostere of the amide bond but are unexplored in peptide secondary structure.
The @vanvellergroup from @IowaStateU shows how amidines are not only tolerated in helical structures but can even enhance helical folds. #MyFirstChemSci

Sulfenamides are an often-ignored functional group due to their instability. A new computational study in #JOrgChem of the α-effect for S–N nucleophiles reveals that an unusual anomeric interaction may aid their stability. From @vanvellergroup, pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Thioimidates: An Obscure Functional Group Provides General Access to Peptide Bond Isosteres
Special moment when you get to present in the same section as your former advisor Ronald Raines at APS #peptides2023. Working on some polymer projects to complete the set with @SwagerGroup and @AdronovGroup
@andrei_yudin are you bringing the sticks to APS? Hoping to get out of anyone is interested. #Peptides2023

It’s award ceremony season and our lab recently celebrated grad students @brendanxwall and @emilyob51 on their @IASTATE_Chem departmental awards!
Of course they had to get a picture with Rosalind too! 🧬
Not really a Twitter person until I found #ChemistsWhoLift, which totally redeemed the whole platform. Hoping to focus on oly lifts this summer. Use this as accountability. 200lb/90kg snatch.

Last year the NFL touted data to push the narrative that turf was just as safe as grass. Here is proof that the data they used was an outlier, how it highlights the credibility gap on health and safety and why players are right to call for safer surfaces. bit.ly/3KSVSyn
