Thanks Jing-Ke Weng and @natchembio.nature.com for a great News and Views on our nicotine work from @lichmanlab.bsky.social and @geufloreslab.bsky.social ! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How tobacco builds nicotine - Nature Chemical BiologyNicotine is among the most consequential of plant alkaloids, yet how tobacco joins its two nitrogen-containing rings has gone unsolved for over a century. Two new studies complete the pathway, reveali...www.nature.com

Excited to see our work from @lichmanlab.bsky.social and @geufloreslab.bsky.social, and that from Chang et al., featured in a recent Nature Plants News & Views! Thanks @natplants.nature.com and Tsubasa Shoji! #natprod #PlantScience www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Scientists solve 200-year-old puzzle of how tobacco plants make nicotineScientists have uncovered how tobacco plants naturally make nicotine, solving a mystery that has puzzled researchers for nearly two centuries.www.york.ac.uk

Nicotine biosynthesis is completed by cryptic activating glucosylation. Very excited to share the first publication from my PhD, published in @natcomms.nature.com reconstructing the critical ring coupling reaction in a four enzyme one-pot biocatalytic cascade! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nicotine biosynthesis is completed by cryptic activating glucosylation - Nature CommunicationsDespite the significance of nicotine, a neuroactive alkaloid produced by tobacco, its biosynthesis has remained elusive. Here, the authors report the in vitro and in planta reconstruction of a fo...www.nature.com
