We just took a deep dive into this tour-de-force chemoproteomics paper from @stephanhacker2.bsky.social and colleagues in our journal club today — really interesting findings about selectivity and coverage of 56 different electrophilic warheads, and great experimental and analysis workflows. Bravo!

How can we study target engagement and selectivity of covalent inhibitors? Which electrophilic probes are best suited to study a certain amino acid?

Our study on "Profiling the proteome-wide selectivity of diverse electrophiles" is published in Nature Chemistry.(1/7)

Why should scientists write op-eds? It's tempting to say the facts ought to speak for themselves. But the facts are largely whispering among themselves in the scientific literature. They need us to give them a voice. How? Advice in my latest @natchem.nature.com Thesis rdcu.be/eJlGL #chemsky 1/3

Magnets could increase the rate of water splitting in microgravity by up to 240% over unmodified devices, potentially producing substantially more oxygen for astronauts, says study in @natchem.nature.com. Findings suggest technology that could help to support human space exploration.

Magnetically induced convection enhances water electrolysis in microgravity - Nature Chemistry
Electrochemical devices producing oxygen in space face limited buoyancy, hindering gas bubble removal and increasing reaction overpotentials. Now, it has been shown that commercial magnets can enhance the reaction efficiency and induce phase separation in microgravity. The optimized magnetoelectrochemical architectures developed here may guide the designs of future life-support systems.

Water-splitting devices could provide oxygen for astronauts on long-term space missions but microgravity presents an issue. One team has found that off-the-shelf neodymium magnets are a simple addition that much improves these devices' efficiency.
