Very happy to share two back-to-back preprints of my postdoc work on bacterial NEL E3 ligases from my time in @katrinrittinger.bsky.social lab at @crick.ac.uk in collaboration with the ChemBio team at GSK (1/4)

Great @chemrxiv.bsky.social preprint by a team of GSK around @jtbush.bsky.social. They showcase the power of single- and multi-step direct-to-biology approaches by developing a potent, cell-active actylamide inhibitor for WRN helicase. chemrxiv.org/engage/...
Interesting paper by the groups of @katrinrittinger.bsky.social and @jtbush.bsky.social in @commschem.bsky.social. DIA-based chemical proteomics in combination with direct-to-biology compound optimization identifies new, enantioselective inhibitors for the DUB OTUD7B. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Happy to share our new paper, out now in @commschem.bsky.social. Was great working with Aini and @katmcphie.bsky.social on this! We used chemoproteomics and HTC to find an enantioselective hit for OTUD7B. www.nature.com/articles/s42... @katrinrittinger.bsky.social @jtbush.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk
