69. Molecular Flavins: Catalytic Activity outside Enzymes

Golo Storch (TU Munich, DE)

21.06.23, 12:30

Modern flavoenzymes are among nature’s most versatile catalysts and mediate reactions ranging from oxidations, oxygenations, ring contractions, to reductions [1]. This diversity stems from the occurrence of different catalytically active states of the cofactor’s isoalloxazine heterocycle, which is the reactive center of both flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)....

70. Tales of select protocellular systems

Sudha Rajamani (IISER Pune, IN)

The enduring mystery of life's origins involves an important step of discerning the emergence of the first cells on the early Earth. Understanding this involves studying the fundamental components of a putative protocell and how they interact with each other, potentially resulting in the emergence of the first protocellular systems. In this backdrop, we at the COoL lab have been focussing on...
