Christos Galanos,a Karsten Haupta,ba Université de Technologie de Compiègne, Franceb Institut Universitaire de Francechristos.galanos@utc.fr Introduction Molecular Imprinting is a versatile technology that allows encoding a molecular memory in synthetic polymers, subsequently referred to as molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). MIPs are custom-designed receptors materials characterized by their inherent affinity and selectivity for specific target molecules, exhibiting […]

Authors: Vilja Siitonen, Anna Probst, Gábor Tóth, Robert Kourist, Michael Schroda, Sergey Kosourov and Yagut Allahverdiyeva Short description: The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was used as a chassis for photobiotransformation of cyclohexanone to ε-caprolactone. In addition a stepwise production of molecular hydrogen and ε-caprolactone was achieved. Link to the publication: https://doi.org/10.1039/D3GC01400B

Times brings everything to those who wait
OMG, it is true that time flies by! The little story I would like to tell starts about 40 years ago when I, for the first time, got impressed by biology as a science. I was 12 years old and in the 6th class when our teacher in school told us about the magic efficiency […]
Photosynthesis is one of the universally known terms from biology. Almost everyone is able to say that “That is the thing plants do.”, but there is much more to photosynthesis than one might think. But why is photosynthesis so important? Well, it was behind the Great Oxygenation Event, which made the development of life as […]
