An organic synthesis lab that makes proteins and other molecules using new reactions and catalysts.

AboutAbout the lab
Making hard-to-make molecules with new reactions
The Bode Lab uses chemistry to make molecules that are difficult to handle with conventional synthetic methods, such as proteins and glycopeptides.
To do so, the lab develops new chemical reactions and catalysts.
The lab is a research group of the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University, and its principal investigator is a professor at ETH Zurich (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich).
Prof. Bode, the principal investigator, also works with Oi at ITbM on developing small-molecule catalysts that activate and transform biomolecules within living organisms.
Key terms
- Glycopeptide
- A molecule in which sugars are attached to a peptide, a chain of amino acids.
- Covalent bond
- A strong type of bond in which atoms are joined by sharing electrons.
- Carbene catalyst
- A catalyst that drives chemical reactions using a compound containing a highly reactive carbon called a carbene.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to use organic synthesis to make proteins, glycopeptides, polymers with controlled sequence and length, and conjugates in which these are linked by covalent bonds. To this end, it develops chemical reactions and catalysts.
