Synthetic Metabolism in Plants: Elucidating Vinblastine Biosynthesis and Implementing Strategies to Overproduce Complex Plant Metabolites (SynPlantMet)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,
Nature produces a spectacularly diverse array of complex molecules that are exploited for many applications. Elucidating the biosynthetic pathways that are used to construct these complex molecules allows implementation of metabolic engineering or synthetic biology strategies that can dramatically improve production levels of these compounds. Moreover, identifying the biosynthetic genes facilitate ...

Pioneering Heterogeneous Organometallic-Mediated Electrocatalytic Reactions (PiHOMER)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2017,
This project pioneers the use of Heterogeneous Organometallic Mediated Electrocatalytic Reactions (HOMER) and our understanding thereof. Examples of electron transfer activation of C-H, C-Halide bonds and cycloaddition reactions of unactivated olefins are sought that are catalysed by appropriate combinations of electrochemically generated odd-electron (17-electron) organometallic “radical” complex ...

BlueGenics – From gene to bioactive product: Exploiting marine genomics for an innovative and sustainable European blue biotechnology industry (BlueGenics)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Marine organisms, in particular sponges and their associated microorganisms, are an inexhaustible source of novel bioactive (lead) compounds for biomedical application. Industrial exploitation of this natural resource using traditional approaches is, however, hampered, with a few exceptions, by unsolvable supply problems - despite of numerous efforts in the past. Therefore, there is, very likely, ...

SPRITES Optimisation of Bio-inspired Gel Scaffolds for Hydrogen Production (SPRITES-H2)
Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2014,
Results arising from the ERC Starting Investigator Grant, Introducing SPRITES (202706, Aug’08-Jul‘12) reveal that encapsulating synthetic molecules based upon the hydrogenase enzyme in a bio-gel material cause dramatic changes in chemical behaviour as well as significant improvements in their stability when exposed to air. These systems therefore offer exciting prospects for use as a scaffold mate ...

Coupled Polyoxometalate – Hydrogenase Catalysts for Photocatalytic Water Splitting (POMHydcat)
Date du début: 15 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 14 sept. 2013,
Alternatives to fossil fuels are of rapidly increasing importance, driven by concerns over energy security, cost, and global warming. In response to these concerns, the EU has set the target of obtaining 20% of all energy from renewable sources by 2020. A key challenge in renewable energy is finding an efficient way to convert plentiful solar energy into a source of chemical energy which can be st ...
