… shown to thermodynamically stabilize the native structure 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

…GSS Board NEXT ECR ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY The next ECR General Assembly will take place during the GSS Workshop on 1st/2nd October 2015 in the RUB Conference Center.  The GSS Board meets four times a year and decides about the activities of the Graduate School Solvation Science, i.e. the organization of the annual Summer School and GSS Workshop and the structured training program of the Graduate School. The GSS Board consists of: The Dean of the GSS, one representative from the group of the ECR group leaders, one representative from the group of the PhD students and the GSS science…

… 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 the reactants and the products, but also affects transition states. Solvents thus influence the thermodynamics, the kinetics, and the product selectivity in liquid phase reactions. The selection of a suitable solvent frequently determines the success or failure of a chemical reaction. One example with possibly broad implications is the synthesis of enantiomeric pure products that is mandatory for any new…

…dvanced Modules Advanced Modules 2016 17TH - 20TH OF MAY 2016 Between May 17 and May 20 the GSS Summer School 2016 took place. The first two lecture days focused on the role of the solvent in activity and selectivity of nanostructured electrocatalysts. The third lecture day covered theoretical aspects of solvation thermodynamics and experimental techniques for studying solvent effects on optical activity. Please see below for a list of confirmed speakers. On Friday, 20th of May the advanced module hands-on courses will take place. Name Affiliation Talk…
