Structure: Some molecules change their spatial structure when exposed to light – in other words, they look different in light and darkness. What exactly happens during the conversion has not yet been researched in detail.

Cell Death Differ.: The protein Bax is responsible for programmed cell death. Because it is constantly changing its location, its structure has so far been difficult to determine.

Nat. Energy: The semi-artificial system is constructed like a Lego box – which opens up a wide range of applications for the future.

Chem. Sci.: Researchers use a trick to prevent a ring from forming when droplets dry. This has far-reaching consequences.

Nat. Comm.: The mechanism protects sensitive enzymes from oxygen. It obtains its energy from sugar.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: The findings could help save carbon dioxide in the future.

Nat. Rev. Chem.: In nature, enzymes are mostly made of proteins. This might change in a not too distant future, according to a review article published by a research team from Bochum.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Seemingly simple questions about the hydration shell of charged particles remained unanswered for a long time. Until this new analysis arrived.

JACS: The particles have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. They are used in medicine and the food industry. But little is known about their mode of action and degradation so far.

Angew.Chem.: Plastic production with this catalyst would be sustainable and would also enable the creation of hydrogen as a potential energy source.
