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.
UniSysCat researcher Benjamin Steininger in GEO 1/2025: “We don't just have oil in our tanks, we also have it in our minds”. The journal is until mid January on stock at almost every German kiosk or train station.
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.
A stele was erected in Steglitz-Zehlendorf to commemorate Clara Immerwahr, the first woman in Germany to receive a doctorate in physical chemistry. In Immerwahr's honor, UniSysCat annually awards young female scientists.
A team of four scientists, including UniSysCat group leader Peter Saalfrank from the University of Potsdam, was awarded an ERC Synergy Grant for their project IRASTRO, that is dedicated to interstellar astrochemical research.
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.
We congratulate UniSysCat group leader Roldán Cuenya from FHI Berlin, on winning the “ACES – Margarita Salas” Award in Physics, Mathematics and Engineering, that honors her research on catalytic nanostructured materials.
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.
The Berlin University Alliance showcases Berlin's exceptional research landscape, bringing the people behind the science closer. Under the motto “How can chemistry become more sustainable?” they present UniSysCat.
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.
