Delighted to see our paper studying the evolution of plasmids over the last 100 years, now out! Years of work by Adrian Cazares, also Nick Thomson @sangerinstitute.bsky.social - this version much improved over the preprint. Final version should be open access, apols.

Non-antibiotics disrupt colonization resistance against enteropathogens - Nature

Non-antibiotic drugs from a wide range of therapeutic classes can alter the ability of gut commensals to resist invasion by enteropathogens, a previously underappreciated side effect of such drugs.

New research in Science represents a notable step forward in designing enzymes from scratch.

With a new approach, researchers designed an enzyme that uses a covalent intermediate to catalyze a two-step reaction, analogous to what many proteases do when breaking apart proteins. scim.ag/41kZBOI

Computational design of serine hydrolases

The design of enzymes with complex active sites that mediate multistep reactions remains an outstanding challenge. With serine hydrolases as a model system, we combined the generative capabilities of ...

Bacteria can influence how sugars modify proteins in the brain – shown for the first time by EMBL researchers.

In their study, the scientists describe a new method to study glycosylation systematically & quantitatively, leading to new biological insights. 🧪🧠📈
