Yoon Lab (Biocatalysis and CO2 Conversion)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses the power of enzymes to make useful substances from CO2 and hydrogen.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating enzyme catalysts that surpass platinum catalysts
The Yoon Lab develops new enzyme catalysts that efficiently catalyze small molecules (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water) and analyzes their biochemical properties.
The lab is developing highly efficient and selective CO2 hydrogenation reactions by fusing hydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase, a combination that outperforms platinum catalysts.
The lab also isolates a light-harvesting antenna protein (phycocyanin) from a new thermophilic cyanobacterium and is developing a visible-light-responsive hydroxylation system.
The lab's website introduces it as a lab of the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research at Kyushu University.
Key terms
- Hydrogenase
- An enzyme that activates hydrogen
- Phycocyanin
- A protein in cyanobacteria that acts as an antenna to collect light
- Biocatalyst
- A catalyst made by living organisms, such as an enzyme
