Chemist & X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin's meticulous research was instrumental in uncovering DNA's molecular structure.
Most famous for her role in the DNA double helix discovery, her work also revolutionized our understanding of viruses & coal. Died #OTD in 1958, age 37. #WomenInSTEM
Biochemist Marie M. Daly (b. #OTD in 1921) was the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in #chemistry in the US (Columbia 1947).
Overcoming the dual hurdles of racial & gender bias, her pioneering studies included cholesterol’s role in heart disease, protein synthesis, and nucleic acids. #WomenInSTEM
New Martell Group paper alert! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Cool work by Sifei Fang evolving APEX2 for proximity labeling probes with higher redox potentials! Amazing to see this project published.

Proximity labeling (PL) can identify endogenous proteins in specific subcellular regions. APEX2 (enhanced ascorbate peroxidase 2) enables PL with high…
SAVEMONEY is a computational tool that guides users to mix plasmids prior to nanopore sequencing, reducing the effective cost of whole-plasmid sequencing to below that of Sanger sequencing.
The final version of our new paper is out now - and open access @acs.org Central Science!!
Such a fun collaboration!

Whole plasmid sequencing (in my opinion) soooo beats Sanger for checking your molecular cloning (and do be sure to check your plasmids!!!!). youtu.be/RJmBxwEoFHw

TOWN SQUARE, USA—Facing mounting criticism from anonymous social media accounts, researchers across the country were mocked online this week for wasting valuable time trying to understand how…
Combining bioorthogonal protecting groups with localized catalysts that can unmask them is a powerful approach to spatially and temporally modulate molecular activity. Enzymes are appealing catalysts ...
