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.
From Berlin to Melbourne and back: A doctoral student from the UniSysCat research group of Prof. Limberg visited cooperation partners at Monash University in Australia and brought back exciting research results.
An international team including several UniSysCat researchers is using the powerful method of serial-femtosecond crystallography to visualize precisely how a bacterial light receptor reacts to illumination.
Four UniSysCat groups jointly elucidated the coupling of the reactivities of two physiologically unrelated enzymes in solution by theory and spectroscopy to achieve hydrogen-driven formate production and the reverse reaction.
Using sophisticated operando spectroscopy a team around UniSysCat group leader Beatriz Roldán Cuenya from the FHI Berlin gains insights into the function of a nickel-based catalyst of great potential for the reduction of CO2.
The UniSysCat groups of spectroscopists Horch and Zebger discover a potential shortcut for catalytic hydrogen cleavage in a hydrogenase that is controlled by light - opening up new possibilities for manipulating this process.
A UniSysCat team has shown that it is possible to study proteins, such as a chloride pump, in living cells using time-resolved IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy.
A team around UniSysCat group leader Adam Lange shows a new way how to measure the interaction of membrane proteins with different lipids and the influence of lipid exchange on the stability and activity of the protein.
A team around the UniSysCat groups of Holger Dobbek, Petra Wendler and Athina Zouni visualize the structure of photosystem II at unprecedented resolution - thanks to cryo-electron microscopy.
