##Sirtuin
Second day of the #EFMCISCB2023 conference starting now in Basel. It's been a fantastic combination of MedChem and ChemBio talks so far!
If you are around, come find me today at poster 56 to hear about #sirtuin sensors.

New preprint from a collaboration with the Schutkowski group @unihalle.bsky.social @uni-freiburg.de . Alkyl branching in acyl lysines slows down deacylation by the NAD+ dependent Sirt2 to result in super potent enzyme inhibitors #sirtuin @chemrxivbot.bsky.social chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.... 1/
Alkyl-Branched Acyl-Lysine Peptides as Potent Cell-Permeable Slow-Substrate Inhibitors of SIRT2 | ChemRxiv
Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent lysine deacylase implicated in cancer and neurodegeneration. Here, we report acyl-lysine peptide inhibitors bearing methyl-branched or cyclopropyl-modified acyl chains with low-...
