Proteome-Wide Target Identification Using Reactive Metallo-Scaffolds (r-mS): A Platform for Metallodrug Discovery Metal complexes offer unique opportunities as scaffolds in chemical biology and drug discovery, with tuneable geometry, modular coordination environments, and structural features not readily accessibl...

🧪 Excited to share our new work on reactive metallo-scaffolds (r-mS)! We combine metal complexes with chemoproteomics to discover new liganding sites across the proteome! Shout out to a great collaboration with GSK! Fantastic team effort 🫶🏻 chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 proteases PLpro and 3CLpro by selected gold(III)-dithiocarbamato complexes showing strong and selective antiviral activity against HCoV-OC43 Selected gold(III)-dithiocarbamato complexes were identified as potent inhibitors of two critical enzymes involved in the SARS-CoV-2 replication cycle…

Our latest paper on antiviral metallodrugs is online (open access)! Great collaboration with the team of Luca Ronconi from Galway on gold compounds as protease inhibitors with strong antiviral activity! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The first pictures of the conference are online, food science and smiles!

What a beautiful sunny day in Paris, perfect for a group picture! (@chimieparistechpsl.bsky.social Library is also a nice setting for an inside group picture).

Live on stage @isbomc25.bsky.social : group member Igor Esarev

Very happy about the poster flash presentation of team member Sebastian Türck @isbomc25.bsky.social ! Looking forward to day 2!

See you at ISBOMC 2025 next week in Paris!

Happy to see group member Igor Esarev presenting a talk on antibacterial silver #bioorganometallics at the Ferrocene Colloquium 2025 ! www.ferrocene19.ruhr-uni-bochum.de

Great title: the rise of bullshit jobs in universities:-)

Thanks to Uli Kortz from Constructor University in Bremen for the opportunity to deliver a talk on #bioorganometallics ! It was great fun to meet many colleagues, researchers and students !

Looking forward to a an exciting conference in beautiful Ciudad Real!

Modulation of the mechanism of action of antibacterial silver N-heterocyclic carbene complexes by variation of the halide ligand The antimicrobial properties of silver and silver complexes have been known in medicine since ancient times. However, limitations in stability and solubility have impaired medicinal chemistry and drug...

As Bluesky is rapidly emerging as the new online gathering place for chemists (and the scientific community in general), I tried making an INORG CHEM starter pack!
go.bsky.app/9jrY6wU

If your research involves inorganic chemistry of any flavor and I've missed you, please lmk.

Happy to be part of this starter pack! Thanks a lot!

Great idea!!! Thanks for adding me in the starter pack already!!!
