#biocatalysis — Public Fediverse posts

#Oxford #CafeScientifique happening #today:
An overview of carbon capture and utilisation technologies and recent advances in the field - by Prasita Dutta of the University of Oxford
she will give a broad overview of the #technology and #science of #carbonCapture and how it can be used in the real world. She will then talk about some more recent developments in the field including her own research involving #biocatalysis for carbon capture.

Researchers have developed a gentle, water-based method for assembling massive collections of potential drug candidates without damaging their molecular DNA "barcodes." This technique utilizes engineered enzymes instead of harsh synthetic chemicals to construct small-molecule libraries.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins! Ivana Drienovska and coworkers expanded the horizons of #protein engineering and #biocatalysis by synthesizing several new non-canonical amino acids and incorporating them into proteins.

In the cover we imagined a protein as a composition of blocks (the amino acids) where one has a different color, symbolizing the incorporated unnatural amino-acid.

#introduction

Hi, I'm a biochemist enthusiastic about #enzymes, #biocatalysis and #ProteinEngineering & #ProteinEvolution.

I did my PhD with Florian Hollfelder at the #UniversityofCambridge working on #DirectedEvolution of enzymes using droplet #microfluidics. Currently, I am doing a postdoc at #ETHZurich, studying which properties determine a protein’s innovability towards new function.

Looking forward to learning about cool preprints/papers and finding a lively scientific community here!
