Synthesizing tailored, modified peptides and proteins is key to understanding their biology.

In her "German Chemical Biology Lectureship" Award Lecture @ninahartrampf.bsky.social @hartrampf-lab.bsky.social gave exciting insights, how flow chemistry can be used for this. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
