An IscS Persulfide Donates the Sulfur for Ribosomal Protein uL16 Thioamidation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
YcaO‐catalyzed thioamidation of the ribosomal subunit protein uL16 is widespread in Pseudomonadota bacteria. We identify the iron–sulfur cluster cysteine desulfurase IscS as the sulfur donor via an IscS persulfide and observe direct IscS–uL16 interactions.

Reverse auctions for drought‐responsive water buybacks: Evidence from co‐designed lab and field experiments

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Protecting endangered aquatic species while sustaining farming communities can require water buyback programs that are both cost‐effective and responsive to the variability and unpredictability of drought conditions. Working in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, we co‐design parallel
