Ooi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A synthetic chemistry lab that controls chemical reactions through catalyst design.

AboutAbout the lab
Designing molecules to tackle reactions and life
The Ooi Lab rationally designs new molecules, creating molecules that function as catalysts to control chemical reactions and molecules whose functions are keys to understanding biological phenomena.
By applying precise structural modifications to molecules, the lab creates catalyst functions that tightly control ionic and radical reactions.
The lab aims for synthetic chemistry that contributes to ideal chemical production and to the understanding and control of biological systems.
It is a research group of the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules, and is introduced as Organic Reaction Chemistry in the Department of Organic and Polymer Chemistry.
Key terms
- Catalyst
- A substance that makes a chemical reaction occur more readily without itself being changed.
- Ionic reaction
- A chemical reaction that proceeds through electrically charged molecules (ions).
- Radical reaction
- A chemical reaction that proceeds through molecules with unpaired electrons (radicals).
ResearchResearch themes
Molecules are the smallest functional units that govern life processes and support modern society. This lab rationally designs new molecules and applies precise structural modifications to create functions as catalysts and functions that are keys to understanding biological phenomena.
