Structural Organic Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that combines organic synthesis and biotechnology to create new functional molecules.

AboutAbout the lab
Creating new functions from molecules and proteins
The Structural Organic Chemistry Lab works broadly with organic compounds, metal complexes, proteins, and microorganisms, developing new functional molecules and functional materials.
Its foundations are organic synthetic chemistry and coordination chemistry, together with bioengineering and biotechnology.
It carries out diverse interdisciplinary research, from the organic synthesis of porphyrinoid compounds to artificial biocatalysts, nanobiomaterials, and hydrogels.
It aims to open up a new field of bioinorganic chemistry.
Key terms
- Cofactor
- A non-protein molecule or metal ion that a protein, such as an enzyme, needs in order to function
- Hydrogel
- A jelly-like material that contains a large amount of water
- Bioinorganic chemistry
- A field of chemistry that deals with how metal-containing molecules function in living organisms, and with molecules that mimic them
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to create new functional molecules and functional materials using organic compounds, metal complexes, proteins, and microorganisms. Building on organic synthesis, coordination chemistry, and biotechnology, it pursues interdisciplinary research.
