This study investigates MOMP assembly in Corynebacterium glutamicum, showing that PorH and ProtX are inserted at polar growth zones and linked to the cell wall.

This paper introduces AminoX, a platform for programmable covalent protein design using non-standard amino acids, enabling efficient screening and functional validation of covalent warheads and multifunctional proteins.

The paper shows recoded E. coli can escape faster due to tRNA base changes and introduces kill switches to prevent this.

The paper develops an aqueous-based enzymatic platform for template-independent RNA oligonucleotide synthesis, demonstrating compatibility with therapeutic modifications and offering a sustainable alternative to chemical methods.

This paper demonstrates efficient genetic code expansion in Bacillus subtilis using non-standard amino acids to enable chemical biology tools for studying bacterial biology.

This paper introduces a method called Post-Translational Proofreading (PTP) to improve the accuracy of detecting non-standard amino acid incorporation into proteins by leveraging the N-end rule pathway.
