Elektroantrieb für das Leben: ein Forschungsteam am Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology hat einen künstlichen Stoffwechselweg entwickelt, der aus elektrischem Strom biochemische Energie gewinnt. 💡🔌🌿 In diesem Video erklärt Doktor Whatson, warum das so spannend ist! 🎞️

Latest developments in WebCoot (out soon) - now we can represent the output of Bjorn Forsberg's OccuPy - here we show the Iron Nitrogenase Complex EMD 16890

We purified the Mo and Fe N2ase of our model organism R. capsulatus and tested how they react to mixtures of N2/CO2. The Mo N2ase was selective for N2 but under 100% CO2, it is reduced to #formate and #CO. In contrast, the Fe N2ase readily reduces CO2 to formate in 1:1 mixtures.

Did you know that the iron #nitrogenase reduces #N2 and #CO2 under physiological conditions? Check out the tweetorial by Niels Oehlmann to learn more about our latest paper, out now on bioRxiv! doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

The Fe #Nitrogenase complex is solved ! New insights into a biocatalyst essential for life by producing bioavailable nitrogen: Dr. Johannes Rebelein's research team Johannes Rebelein, Frederik Schmidt, Luca Schulz has now uncovered the entire molecular structure: s.gwdg.de/NcUybG

Our manuscript is now online @Bioarchivepreprint! We explore the role of #ferredoxins (Fds) in nitrogen (N2) fixation via #nitrogenases (N2ases), the only enzymes to convert atmospheric N2 into bioavailable ammonia (NH3) and CO2 directly to hydrocarbons. dlvr.it/Szs2gs

Excited to share our work SYBORG out today in Nature Catalysis. A new synthetic CO2-fixation cycle, the THETA cycle, is designed, constructed in vitro, and modularly implemented in E. coli. Step by step, we are bringing synthetic CO2 fixation to life. nature.com/articles/s4192…
