Our first preprint! Galactose: 1 of only (~)9 mammalian glycan building blocks; important historically to present-day in glycobiology, immunology, & human health; until @JessDaughtry1's heroic work, refractory to imaging with powerful bioorthogonal approaches. Read on! #glycotime.

Always a thrill to give the #bioorthogonal chemistry lecture today in Principles of Chemical Biology @CornellChem — for sure a periodic table socks-worthy day! Hopefully one of these years I’ll get to add the Nobel Prize slide to this lecture to join many others in this course 🤩

@ChemDraw 20 has a useful shortcuts cheat sheet. Check out the bottom: a cheat code for DIFO! #bioorthogonal chemistry is in good company! (NB: if you try it, the code has a few unnecessary up arrows.) h/t @ChemJewett cc @CarolynBertozzi @jenn_prescher @EllenSletten #teamoctyne

Another reason to eat protein-rich diets: Pam Chang's lab at @CornellPathogen reports in @PNASNews that the gut #microbiota converts tryptophan into metabolites that strengthen the gut epithelial barrier & protect against colitis. #microbiome Synopsis: 1/
