Congratulations to our German postdoc Johannes Grosskopf (Johannes Großkopf) who has been awarded the 2024 Albert-Weller award by the German Chemical Society GDCh Division of Photochemistry for his outstanding contributions to photochemistry as a young academic. Well done, Johannes!

Thank you very much Olalla Vázquez, for your lecture on the TUM. Our CataLysis-network also had the opportunity to learn more about your research. A wonderful conclusion to this Semesters CRC325 lecture series.

Super excited to share my main research SYBORG, new in Science Magazine, where I engineered a cell-free system that self-regenerates using building blocks autonomously synthesized from CO2! 🧪🫧 Let me tell you more below 👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited about engineering powerful biocatalysts? Check out the open PhD position in my group! 👉zhaw.ch/en/jobs/vacant… Please spread the word!🇨🇭🏔️🧪🌿☀️ NCCR Catalysis ZHAW Photo: ZHAW Wädenswil / Frank Brüderli

Another cool story of us is finally out in JACS Au! We screened alkyl guanidinium scaffolds under host-mimicking conditions to identify novel antibiotics and elucidated an unconventional mode of action of our most promising hit compound L15. Full story -> pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Check out our new paper on the architecture and subunit composition of the human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex which just appeared in Science Advances. Many thanks to all who contributed to this terrific collaboration! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Finally it’s official: Our manuscript on a new reagent for C-atom transfer is out Science Magazine! Diazo transfer from N2O gives access to Ph3PCN2 a versatile reagent. Big congratulations to the team! TU Dortmund European Research Council (ERC) Humboldt-Stiftung phosphorchem.gdch science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

We’re thrilled to share our new pre-print exploring how we can design and control dynamic proteins! (1/6) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our recent paper on an enantioselective H atom transfer reaction catalyzed by an artificial metalloenzyme. A big thank you to Dongping and Xiang for this inspiring piece of work. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Finally out: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… our perspective from the Lorentz Center workshop on photocatalysis! Thanks everyone for their contributions, especially SupraPhoto lab and Sebastian Beil for co-organization!

Excited to announce our new paper on designing allosterically regulated protein assemblies from scratch, now published in nature! This collaborative effort included key contributions from Florian Praetorius, Abbas Idris, Annika Philomin, cweidle and others! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thrilled to announce that our latest research is now published in nature ! This milestone is the result of hard work and dedication from our team. Congrats to Anna, Caro, and Poorva, and a big thank you to everyone who contributed to this achievement! nature.com/articles/s4158…

KFB Lab Alert: Our first exploration in biocatalytic N-halogenation is now available Angewandte Chemie! Congratulations our N-halogenation team led by Manik Sharma and Zoe Patton! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization is a powerful tool to convert flat aromatic compounds into 3D scaffolds. However, catalytic asymmetric dearomatization via a radical mechanism is difficult. We provide a new biocatalytic solution: nature.com/articles/s4155…
