The artwork for our recent publication titled “Microbial DL-Peptidases Enable Predator Defense and Facilitate Structure Elucidation of Complex Natural Products” was chosen as a cover in the February edition of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The journal’s description states: “DL-Specific peptidases with an unusual Ser-Lys-Lys-Tyr catalytic tetrad convert bacterial lipopeptides into potent amoebicides.”
In addition, Chemical [&] Engineering News that focus – among others – on breakthroughs in material science have published the news article “Bacterial enzymes help reveal natural product stereochemistry”.
Congratulations to all authors for these striking pieces communicating the impact to a wider audience!
