Wonderful spending the day with so many friends, colleagues, students, staff, and family at yesterday's 19th Annual #Scrippspierswim at @Scripps_Ocean. One of my favorite days each year!!

Bioinformatic Atlas of Radical SAM Enzyme-Modified #RiPP Natural Products Reveals an Isoleucine–Tryptophan Crosslink by Kenzie A. Clark and Mohammad R. Seyedsayamdost at @PrincetonChem @PrincetonMolBio in @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congrats to my friend and former colleague Kenzie on this fantastic work!

Another year and another fun #scrippspierswim with our friends from @GerwickL @Pdorrestein1 @gilbertjacka @lab_lyons @Hamdounlab Eric Allen, Bill Fenical & Todd Michael labs. Thanks @moorelabsio & see you next year @Scripps_Ocean for the 18th annual

Vitamin B3 Triggers #Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolite Dormancy Signals in Streptococcus suis by Brett C. Covington and Mohammad R. Seyedsayamdost at @PrincetonChem @PrincetonMolBio in @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Amazing visit to @BradMoore_SIO lab @Scripps_Ocean @UCSD hosted by Leah Bushin―exciting scientific discussions crowned by an ocean swim from the shore to the tip of the Ellen Browning Memorial Pier (I got the official Scripps t-shirt as a prize!) 🏊🏻‍♂️

Seyedsayamdost and colleagues from @PrincetonChem show that the biosynthesis of Streptococcal bicyclostreptins involves cyclization reactions mediated by radical SAM enzymes. Free to read link at rdcu.be/cTumy
