Natural Prodcast is a podcast about natural products and the science and scientists of secondary metabolism. Natural products, secondary metabolites, specialized metabolites -- whatever you want to call them, they're the chemicals that make species unique and different from one another, and are incredibly important to medicine, the environment, and human health. Hosts Dan Udwary and Jackie Winter introduce concepts in this exciting field, and talk to the fascinating scientists who work in it. This series brought to you by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute.

    Natural Prodcast Ep 24 - Jackie Winter and SMC
    Nov 15 2023

    On this bonus episode of Natural Prodcast, it's the Self Promotion Episode! Dan chats with new-ish co host Jackie Winter, from the University of Utah, about her secondary metabolism research on weird microbes and bioactive compounds in the Great Salt Lake. Then, Dan talks (maybe way too much) about the Secondary Metabolism Collaboratory, or SMC, JGI's new data portal for natural product biosynthetic gene clusters.

    Natural Prodcast Ep 22 - Alison Narayan
    Oct 4 2023

    In this episode, Dan and Jackie talk to Alison Narayan, from the University of Michigan's Life Sciences Institute and Department of Chemistry. We talked broadly about the field of "biocatalysis", about her DNA synthesis project with the JGI to explore flavin monooxygenases, and what we all need to do in the future to figure out how to make predictions about the functionality and chemical capabilities of enzymes. Also, the Prodcast formally declares its position on candy corn.
