… The system is more active than conventional catalysts, so less energy is required during the reaction, and also difficult compounds can be synthesized. The teams led by Professor Viktoria Däschlein-Gessner and Professor Lukas Gooßen worked...

… gate or binding high-affinity nanobodies. 2. Why are your findings important (for science and, eventually, society)? The provided structural evidence for the allosteric coupling may help developing inhibitors that stop the removal of drugs from...

… and Teaching at DAAD, “clusters like RESOLV build the critical mass of interdisciplinary expertise to attract the interest of high ranked international institutions, scientists and students. We try to facilitate opportunities for knowledge exchange...

… different effects Many molecules, such as amino acids and sugars, exist in two mirror-imaged spatial arrangements, but usually only one of them occurs in nature. "Biologically, the effect can be very different," says Christian Merten, a member of...

… which are mostly sufficient for a good description, but not in the case of water: The interactions in water dimers account for 75 per cent of the energy that keeps water together. Martina Havenith, head of the Bochum-based Chair of Physical...

… is of fundamental importance in physics and chemistry. For example electron tunneling is the basis for a very important imaging technology like the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). And hydrogen tunneling contributes to numerous reactions in...

…ble for many applications Organolithium compounds are among the most reactive compounds in synthetic chemistry. “Due to their special properties, they are indispensable in many applications, even on an industrial scale,” says Viktoria...

… novel ligand systems can be synthesised in numerous ways from commercially available precursors. “It is thus easy to produce them in different versions and customise their properties to suit a certain application,” explains Däschlein-Gessner, a...
