Surprising discovery of a covalent activator of a C-type lectin! We identified the first covalent small-molecule activators of the human C-type lectin DC-SIGN. Instead of inhibiting glycan binding, two warheads increased DC-SIGN activity. Open access here: doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Covalent Activation of the C‐type Lectin DC‐SIGN

We introduce the first covalent activators of a C-type lectin. Using orthogonal functional assays, NMR, MS/MS, and computational modeling, we delineate mechanisms from a functional electrophile-first...

It was a great privilege to chair the ChemBio VII conference (www.chembiovii.es) held in Seville. The organizing committee worked very hard to make the meeting a success. Amazing contributions and discussions in Chemical Biology with colleagues, with the beautiful Seville as a backdrop.
