Starting next Tuesday there will be a bi-weekly webinar series on Phosphorus and group 15 chemistry. For more info ⬇️⬇️ bit.ly/2Wqg55q Registration will go live in the next 24 h. #agpchemie #p31 #phosphorus

Registration for next weeks seminar is now live: bit.ly/3fgPX5s Featuring talks by Lars Longwitz and Doug Stephan and opening remarks by Evamarie Hey-Hawkins

Successfully defended my PhD yesterday in a semi-digital defense! Off to new adventures now!

Lars Lars Longwitz moved on for a PostDoc at the University of Antwerpen UAntwerpen working on C–H functionalization in the group of Bert Maes. Good by and good luck! CU

Xin's paper on epoxide reduction is now online in ACS Catalysis ! Thomas Werner The Beweries group Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse (LIKAT) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Hello phosphine my old friend I've oxidised you once again (we finally recorded it, turn the sound on if you dare) Full length song on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=C446m6…

It's time to mark the end of an era in our old labs with a new group photo! As we say goodbye to our old building at #Nijenborgh4, we are very excited for our next chapter in the brand new #FeringaBuilding! Stratingh Institute for Chemistry University of Groningen

Turning Boron proteins into functional enzymes was the most challenging but rewarding project of my career (so far)! I learned so much during this project and want to thank all collaborators and members of the Roelfes and Mayer group narf42 for their support!

A newly designed enzyme containing boron shows promising catalytic properties currently not found in nature. It could lead to applications in fields such as medicine or green chemistry. In nature Led by Roelfes Group University of Groningen with Structural Biology Group ▶️esrf.fr/home/news/gene…

This month, an exciting paper has been published in nature from Roelfes Group, reporting the design of a boronic acid-integrating #enzyme that allows chiral #organocatalytic reactivity not achievable with natural or chemical catalysts. 1/3

Presenting my results from the Roelfes Group at #nordbioII in Stockholm. A great event so far, lots of interesting biocatalysis.

Hanging out at my poster P4-2 at #biocat2024. Come talk to me about not boring, but boron enzymes.

Cool paper using LmrR Boron Enzymes!

Lars Lars Longwitz presented his work on Boron catalysis in designer enzymes at #biocat2024 in Hamburg. Check out his poster P4-2 and find out more about this remarkable new mode of activation in biocatalysis.
