What's UniSysCat all about?

Three UniSysCat researchers, M. P Lopez, A. Belsom and J. Rappsilber, won jointly with BIOWEG GmbH as BIOPEPLEACH-Team up to 1.5. Mio. € startup-money for recovering rare earth metals with their bioacid-peptide platform.

UniSysCat researchers reveal subtle structural differences between two key bridging hydride intermediates in [NiFe]-hydrogenase.

UniSyCat- and Helmholtz groups teamed up to establish iron-retentive oxygen evolution driven by cerium oxide.

Porelio is a startup founded by two former UniSysCat/BasCat researchers (Rhea Machado, Javier Silva Mora) and Nikol Michailidou. Very recently, they received five prices for their excellent performance on a single day.

MOFs are crystalline 2D- and 3D- reticular compounds made of metal ions and organic linkers. They feature highly porous structures, suitable for storing gas molecules such as CO₂ and for a variety of catalytic applications.

The "Chemical Invention Factory" building, Europe's largest laboratory infrastructure for transfer and pre-start-up teams in green chemistry, is being built on the TU campus.

A unique new competence center is being built on the campus of Humboldt University, bringing together scientific expertise in photobiology, microscopy, and neurobiological optogenetics.

Researchers from four UniSysCat groups uncovered in two studies how bacteria use two nickel-containing enzymes to convert the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂) into energy-rich organic compounds.

Three UniSysCat PIs from the FMP and the Kozuch group (FU Berlin) joined to study the structure of the tetrameric proton channel from the influenza A virus by NMR spectroscopy and theory as function of the pH.

"exzellent erklärt" is the podcast of the 57 Clusters of Excellence in Germany. The second episode with experts from UniSysCat is online now: Martin Rahmel and Benjamin Steininger discuss the transformation of chemistry.
