The Zhang lab studies (bio)chemical diversity of natural products and synthetic biology applications at Westlake University.

We developed a prediction tool for the substrate amino acid of adenylation domains. Hope this can be helpful for NRPS analysis! nrpstransformer.cn

Out today at @ScienceMagazine - giant PKZILLA proteins spew huge polyketide marine toxins, just like #Godzilla! Witnessed by @photocyte & @VikShende at @Scripps_Ocean science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


Excited to share our work on stereochemical prediction of cis-AT modular PKS. We found the KR motif-based prediction is affected by the module architecture and taxonomic origin of the PKS, and provided an update in stereochemical prediction. beilstein-journals.org/bjoc/articles/…

We are excited to finally publish the unprecedented biosynthetic origins of enediyne natural products: iodinated polyynes! This transformative discovery is a huge milestone for these clinical antitumor antibiotics. @Kalkreuter @guichun98 @nchembio nature.com/articles/s4158…

Move over titin... introducing PKZILLA as the largest protein in life that makes one the largest nonpolymeric compounds in biology, the marine polyether toxin prymnesin. Congrats to @photocyte & @VikShende and rest of team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Glad that our review has been selected as a VIP. Hope our bioinformatics-driven approach can be helpful in providing a clearer picture of T2PKS biosynthesis and the product molecules.
