#EFMCISCB25 by @euromedchem.bsky.social and #AdvancesChemBio by @gfg-chembio.bsky.social were amazing conferences. I learned a lot about new science and connected with many inspiring scientists. Nevertheless, after 2 weeks of traveling, I am now happy to be home and not travel much in the next time.
Congratulations to our colleagues from the @gfg-chembio.bsky.social on organizing an excellent Advances in Chemical Biology #AdvancesChemBio Conference in Frankfurt. The quality of the meeting was very high and the talks and posters of outstanding quality. Thank you for the excellent organization!
I had an amazing time at the #AdvancesChemBio with many interesting talks, exciting posters and inspiring discussions with colleagues and friends.
Thank you so much to the organizers from @gfg-chembio.bsky.social for organizing such an outstanding meeting. #chemsky #ChemBio
While kinases are among the most important drug targets, their counterparts, the protein phosphates, are much less explored.

Trypanosomal infections are an important challenge to human health.
@hellmichgroup.bsky.social talked at #AdvancesChemBio about a covalent inhibitor for tryparedoxin and about a detailed study of its mechanism including chemically induced protein dimerization onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Interesting talk by Radka Snajdrova from @novartis.bsky.social at the #AdvancesChemBio. She talked about the applications of biocatalysis in drug discovery and development. Interesting insights into making highly active, but also broad spectrum enzymes for biocatalytic transformations.
Thank you @stephanhacker2.bsky.social for highlighting me talk at the fantastic #advancesChemBio conference. Great interactions with an exciting schedule in Frankfurt. #ChemBio #microbiome #metabolomics
Interesting talk by Zbigniew Pianowski at #AdvancesChemBio. He talked about his group's work in cyclic dipeptides and their applications as photoswitches. Exciting applications in zebrafish embryos. chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Interesting talk by Marie-T. Hopp at #AdvancesChemBio. She talked about her group's work on identifying and characterizing heme binding proteins in blood and, thereby, trying to better understand blood coagulation. www.thrombosisresearch.com/article/S004...
Interesting talk by @olallalab.bsky.social at #AdvancesChemBio. She talked about her group's work on various peptide-based #ChemBio tools. Interesting insights e.g. into peptide-based binders to Elongin BC, which induce apoptosis in cancer cells. #chemsky www.cell.com/cell-chemica...
We urgently need new drugs that address viral infections to e.g. be better prepared for the next viral pandemic.
Jutta Eichler presented her group's work on this topic at #AdvancesChemBio. She discussed the potential of peptide inhibitors and of targeting viral entry and replication cycle.
Understanding posttranslational modifications (PTMs) is often key to mechanistically understanding human health and disease.
At #AdvancesChemBio Pavel Kielkowski talked about his group's impressive work on chemical proteomics to study complex PTMs such as AMPylation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Interesting talk by Xinlai Cheng at #AdvancesChemBio. He talked about his group's work on developing a CRISPR/dCas9 system with an FCPF tag that allows labeling it with small molecule binders for selective epigenetic engineering at specific genes. academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
Amazing talk by @globischlab.bsky.social at #AdvancesChemBio. He talked about studying the changes of metabolites produced by the microbiome in different diseases. Exciting chemical biology tools to enrich metabolites with various functional groups. (1/2) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
How can we efficiently identify starting points for antibiotics with novel modes-of-action?
Anna Hirsch talked about this topic at #AdvancesChemBio. She presented her group's work on fragment screening, virtual screening and dynamic combinatorial chemistry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Impressive Award Lecture for the "Richard Willstätter Prize for Chemical Biology" by Peter Seeberger at #AdvancesChemBio. He talked about the importance of chemically synthesizing defined versions of biomolecules on the example of the automated synthesis of glycans. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Great talk by Felix Hausch at #AdvancesChemBio. He talked about his group's exciting work on using site-specific photocrosslinking based on non-canonical amino acid incorporation in order to better understand structures of protein complexes in human cells. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Interesting talk by Kristina Bayer at #AdvancesChemBio. She talked about her work on studying the regulation of cellular protrusions incl. lamellipodia. Cool lipid-based Chemical Biology tools to obtain new insights by selectively localizing proteins to the plasma membrane. #chemsky #ChemBio
Great talk by Andrea Hupfeld at #AdvancesChemBio. She talked about incorporating photoswitchable amino acids into enzymes to photocontrol their activity. Exciting application to bacterial asparaginase, for which substrate selectivity is switched. #ChemBio #chemsky www.degruyter.com/document/doi...
Interesting talk by Arne Skerra at #AdvancesChemBio. He talked about the use of photoswitchable amino acids as tags for protein purification, which bind selectively to α-cyclodextrin and can be eluted by light switching. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The poster flash talks were a highlight of the day at #AdvancesChemBio. We learned a lot about photoswitchable amino acids, biocatalysis, protein evolution, natural product identification, luminescent DNA synthesis and protease ABPP. Very much looking forward to the poster session. #chemsky #ChemBio
