Proud to share the last publication from my PhD - recently out in Chem&Bio Eng. (open access! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…). It is a dive into how immobilization chemistry affects enzymes' pH-activity profiles. We show an easy potential way to gain in activity! @Huckgroup

Our recent @NatureChemistry paper demonstrates how resource competition can endow enzymatic reaction networks with reservoir computing capabilities to perform complex information processing tasks!

Yesterday, we had a Huck group outing! The afternoon began with a Titanic-themed escape room on a boat, where teamwork, timing, and tenacity were put to the test. Whereafter we played games in Kronenburger park, before closing the day with conversation and cuisine at Werf. 😎

Secret Sock Santa once again visited POC department! Our annual tradition - to become Secret Santa and gift beautiful socks and create poems for each other! There were no limits in creativity and everyone was happy to receive warm words and guess who was their Secret Santa🎅🎁
