Out now in @Chem_CP , we collaborate with @piel_lab to discover a prenyltransferase+terpene cyclase fusion enzyme that modifies Trp residues in RiPPs to yield complex steroid-like scaffolds! Congrats to @HubrichFlorian, @sanathrajkk0 for leading this!🎉

It was great working with you on this exciting project!.
Very excited to share that one of the major projects from my postdoc in the wonderful @piel_lab is out now @Chem_CP. An amazing collaboration with the @ChekanLab and @sanathrajkk0 where we characterized RiPPs with polycyclic isoprene moieties🎉

Out now in @ACSCatalysis, we develop a chimeric fusion N-glycosyltransferase for targeted and selective peptide modification, especially in vivo. We use it to make a new glycocin derivative (RiPP NP). Congrats to @smith_ayoola for leading this work!🎉.
