6 October 2019 – Today’s lunch is Paracetamol, because I just did the #CardiffHalfMarathon. The time was 1:59:10 – can be better tbh. If you can save your coffee trip and donate, it is much appreciated. Lots of #cancer patients and families need your help. #CancerResearch https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/louis-luk1
30 August 2019 – Please check our new preprint. This is our approach to enable N- and C-termini labelling using asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP). No thio(depsi)peptide needed! Just an additive that enables a simple but highly efficient chemo-enzymatic pathway.
