Don't miss tomorrow's #UniSysCat colloquium with Dr. Ulrich Glebe from Universität Potsdam who will talk about his work on the stabilization of enzymes and their use in #catalysis. Enzymes are sensitive #biomolecules which are prone to denaturation and benefit from approaches to their stabilization. Synthetic polymers represent one possibility to stabilize enzymes and can even influence their activity. This presentation will give an overview of the synthesis of protein-polymer conjugates, including random and site-specific modification, as well as non-covalent enzyme/polymer complexes. Furthermore, characterization techniques, such as #NMR spectroscopy, that give molecular insight into the modification of proteins and the interaction of polymers with proteins will be shown. As outlook, the application in cascade reactions, enzyme immobilization, and enzyme-polymer membranes will be discussed. Interested? You still have the chance to join online.

🦠Research Highlight: #UniSysCat team shows that UV/Vis and IR #spectroscopy are useful tools to visualize the smallest structural changes in whole proteins, even in living cells. A UniSysCat team involving the groups of Joachim Heberle and Ramona Schlesinger was able to investigate a microbial chloride pump, which is of interest for medical applications, in living cells using time-resolved IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. They could monitor transient structural changes of the retinal cofactor, which is the part of the chloride pump that mainly controls the response to irradiation. Moreover, out of the many signals observed during the response of the chloride pump, they could clearly resolve the deprotonation of a single cysteine residue which is suspected to play a special role in the pumping process. The results are not only groundbreaking for #spectroscopy but also for future projects of UniSysCat - Cluster of Excellence when it comes to understanding catalytic processes in living cells. This study has been published in #JACS: Sabine Oldemeyer, Mariafrancesca La Greca, Pit Langner, Karoline-Luisa Lê Công, Ramona Schlesinger, and Joachim Heberle, Journal of the American Chemical Society 2024 146 (28), 19118-19127, https://lnkd.in/eQTDZx4B Read the full article on our website: https://lnkd.in/extPG63G Freie Universität Berlin #biophysics #catalysis #optogenetics Dr. Sabine Oldemeyer

🎙 Die nächste #Podcast-Folge von “Exzellent Erklärt – Spitzenforschung für alle” ist online! 🌃 Die Tage werden kürzer und die Temperaturen gehen langsam in den Keller 🌡. Der Winter kündigt sich allmählich an! ❄ Zeit für viele Tiere in den Winterschlaf zu gehen 💤. Aber können auch Tumorzellen in eine Art Winterschlaf versetzt werden?! 😲 Und wie hilft das bei der Bekämpfung von Krebs? 🤔 ➡ Hört am besten direkt rein und lasst euch von Josef Leibold erklären, wie er diesen zellulären „Winterschlaf“ dazu ausnutzen will, um Krebsimmuntherapien zu verbessern! 🎧 https://lnkd.in/emsAE5k8 👨🔬 Als Forscher arbeitet er an seinem Projekt im iFIT - Cluster of Excellence (Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen) daran die 💉 CAR-T-Zelltherapie für solide Tumore zu optimieren. 👨⚕️ Gleichzeitig ist er Arzt bei uns am 🏥 Universitätsklinikum. Im Mittelpunkt der Therapie stehen die #T-Zellen, die eine zentrale Rolle in unserem #Immunsystem spielen. Diese werden im Labor genetisch modifiziert, damit sie besser die jeweiligen Krebszellen bekämpfen können. 🎙 Der Podcast zu aktuellen Wissenschaftsthemen spiegelt die Forschungsvielfalt der deutschen Exzellenzcluster wider: von A wie Altertumsforschung über K wie künstliche Intelligenz bis zu Z wie Zukunft der Medizin. In jeder Folge erwarten die Hörerinnen und Hörer Einblicke in die interdisziplinäre Arbeit eines Forschungsverbundes. Die Wissenschaftler:innen der von der Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation geförderten Exzellenzcluster sprechen mit Podcasterin Larissa Vassilian darüber, wie sie auf relevante Themen unserer Zeit wissenschaftlich fundierte Antworten finden wollen – für die Gesellschaft von morgen.
