Our latest publication about pneumocandin biosynthesis in collaboration with Dr. Gerald Bills at the University of Texas was accepted to ACS Chemical Biology. This work revealed the mechanism of product release from lipid synthesizing PKS, and its application to create pneumocandin analogs. Anna performed 1,3-glucan synthase inhibition assays of the structurally novel pneumocandin analogs.
