… universally important reactions? This seemingly simple question is far from being answered. The scientific challenge arises from the strong influence of the solvent. Improvements in chemical energy conversion depend to a large extend on the control of reactions at aqueous interfaces. One focus of RESOLV will be the investigation of the molecular basis of oxygen reduction reactions at liquid/solid interfaces. Achieving a detailed molecular understanding of these processes is of major importance, since these not only determine the performance of fuel cells, but also have an impact on corrosion, on the…

… of bio-macromolecules, to affect protein flexibility, and to contribute to molecular recognition in enzyme catalysis. Protein-water interactions are now known to shape the “free energy folding funnel” that drives protein folding. Connecting solvation dynamics with biomolecular function within RESOLV will open the way to achieving breakthroughs from understanding protein misfolding and formation of amyloid fibrils to rational drug design and de novo enzyme synthesis.  RESEARCH AREA B CONNECTING SOLVATION DYNAMICS WITH BIOMOLECULAR FUNCTION

… of Bochum from 1982 to 2006, when he retired.  Prof. Staemmler has already amassed ample experience preparing him for the task of ombudsman as he was speaker of the graduate school "Dynamical Processes at Solid Surfaces" at the RUB from 1995 to 2000. He is completely independent of RESOLV and the GSS. If you have any issues or problems, feel free to visit him in his office.  The understanding of chemical reactivity is of key importance for the development and optimization of key chemical processes in both the laboratory and industry. Solvation not only changes the properties of…
