This study identifies HMGR as a critical enzyme in B. burgdorferi's mevalonate pathway, revealing its cofactor promiscuity and evolutionary significance.

The NanoBridge system enables targeted post-translational modification of challenging proteins in live cells by using biologic binders to direct PTM enzymes to specific targets.

This study identifies a complex lipid profile in Borrelia burgdorferi, revealing its reliance on environmental lipids and its ability to synthesize eukaryotic-like lipids.

This paper introduces SLiPP, a machine learning model that predicts lipid-binding pockets in proteins with high accuracy, identifying novel lipid-binding proteins and potential therapeutic targets.
