Researchers show that chiral oxide catalysts align electron spin
Researchers from Münster and Pittsburgh look for causes of spin polarisation in these materials
23-Sep-2022
Controlling the spin of electrons opens up future scenarios for applications in spin-based electronics (spintronics), for example in data processing. It also presents new opportunities for controlling the selectivity and efficiency of chemical reactions. Researchers recently presented first ...
On the way to cell-type materials
Physicists decode the dynamic interaction between molecular machines in metal-organic frameworks
05-Jul-2022
Molecular machines control a sizeable number of fundamental processes in nature. Embedded in a cellular environment, these processes play a central role in the intracellular and intercellular transportation of molecules, as well as in muscle contraction in humans and animals. In order for the ...
Biochemists use new tool to control mRNA by means of light
A team of researchers discovered that by using so-called FlashCaps they were able to control the translation of mRNA by means of light
23-Jun-2022
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a long chain of molecules composed of many individual components, and it forms the basis of life on Earth. The function of DNA is to store all genetic information. The translation of this genetic information into proteins – which an organism needs to function, ...
More Data in Chemistry
Clearer reporting of negative experimental results would improve reaction planning in chemistry
13-Jun-2022
Databases containing huge amounts of experimental data are available to researchers across a wide variety of chemical disciplines. However, a team of researchers have discovered that the available data is unsuccessful in predicting the yields of new syntheses using artificial intelligence (AI) ...
Help for stressed-out cells in a crisis
Biologists discover a new function of mitochondria as the "patron saints" of protein folding
31-Jan-2022
According to a team of researchers at the University of Münster, mitochondria provide unexpected help for cells in a crisis by respiring away harmful substances. A current study produced by the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology of Plants (IBBP) shows three things: that this mechanism can be ...
"Hand in hand in hand": three catalysts solve chemical problem
Research team develops new strategy to create molecular compounds without multi-step syntheses
14-Jan-2022
For organic synthesis, i.e. for the production of carbon-based compounds, it is important to develop synthesis processes by which the desired product can be obtained in good yield. At the same time, the processes should be sustainable: for example, they should use environmentally friendly and ...
Chemists succeed in synthesis of aminoalcohols by utilizing light
New method for generating the least accessible form of vicinal aminoalcohols
06-Jan-2021
Whether in beta-blockers to treat high blood pressure or in natural products: So-called vicinal aminoalcohols are high-quality organic compounds that are found in many everyday products. However, their production is difficult. For a long time, chemists are trying to develop efficient methods of ...
Understanding the progress of viral infections
Viral expression model created that can be used to simulate and analyse a large number of viral infections – including the one with SARS-CoV-2
13-Oct-2020
It is only 120 millionths of a millimetre in size but can bring entire countries to a standstill: the Corona virus. Even if it were to disappear one day, viral infections will still be among the most frequent and difficult-to-treat diseases in humans. Even decades of research have only produced a ...
Watching changes in plant metabolism – live
Researchers use a new method of in vivo biosensor technology
17-Aug-2020
Almost all life on Earth, in particular our food and our health, depend on metabolism in plants. In order to understand how these metabolic processes function, researchers at the Institute of the Biology and Biotechnology of Plants at the University of Münster with the participation of the ...
Long-standing problem in organic chemistry solved
Chemists develop a bioinspired strategy for the controlled synthesis of polyenes
20-Jul-2020
They occur in nature, are reactive and play a role in many biological processes: polyenes. It is no wonder that chemists have for a long time been interested in efficiently constructing these compounds – not least in order to be able to use them for future biomedical applications. However, such ...
q&more – the networking platform for quality excellence in lab and process
The q&more concept is to increase the visibility of recent research and innovative solutions, and support the exchange of knowledge.
