In search of chemical rationales

Nature Chemical Biology, Published online: 29 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41589-023-01488-ySmall molecules and drugs are not homogenously distributed across cells, and are instead enriched in distinct subcellular compartments and membraneless biomolecular condensates. A new study lays out the path to identifying chemical features or ‘rationales’ that...

Accelerating the design of pili-enabled living materials using an integrative technological workflow

Nature Chemical Biology, Published online: 27 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41589-023-01489-xA workflow integrating tools from bioinformatics, structural biology and synthetic biology has been developed that enables the rapid design of pili-enabled living materials. This approach allows mining of pili-producing nonpathogenic chassis, understanding of...

Metagenomic domain substitution for the high-throughput modification of nonribosomal peptides

Nature Chemical Biology, Published online: 23 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41589-023-01485-1Efforts to rationally engineer nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzymes have focused on making individual modifications. Here the authors describe a targeted random engineering approach that uses thousands of NRPS domains amplified from the soil metagenome...
