We have a PhD position opening for a candidate with demonstrated experience in electrochemistry.
We are aiming to immobilize various metalloenzymes for small molecule activation.
See for example: pubs.acs.org/doi/ful

ever since @barra_lena's work on PLP-mediated catalysis in the biosynthesis of altemicidin, I've been fascinated by PLP. very cool to see this enzymatic pathway intercepted by photoredox-generated radicals!

We published our first paper on pyridoxal radical biocatalysis in @ScienceMagazine : lnkd.in/gkB5dpKM. What we are most excited about is the ability to design general biocatalytic activation modes which are both new-to-biology and new-to-chemistry:

It's my great pleasure to announce that I'm going to start a professorship and research group in Synthetic Microbiology at the University of Regensburg as of this summer. After an exciting 10 years in the @BPL_ethz at @ETH_BSSE it's time for new adventures! 🧬🧫🔬💻

We reconstitute active artificial hydrogenases using apo-protein of [Fe]-hydrogenase and synthetic Mn complexes. The most active variants appear to operate via a reaction pathway deviated from the native pathway.

Metal hydride reductions join the growing family of reactions catalyzed by metalloenzymes! Check out this paper on abiotic reactivity, achieved on a carbonic anhydrase platform.

Hi! We just started our new lab at the VUB-VIB center of structural biology, in Brussels.
We develop computational design and high-throughput experimental screening methods to understand how membrane proteins fold and engineer proteins with new functions.
