Apr 2020 - Our new paper "Predicting 19F NMR chemical shifts: A combined computational and experimental study of a trypanosomal oxidoreductase-inhibitor compex" has just been published in Angewandte Chemie (Dietschreit, Wagner et al., 2020), a fantastic collaboration with the group of Christian Ochsenfeld in Munich! If you are interested, also read our previous study on the chemically induced dimerization of the oxidoreductase by its covalent inhibitor (Wagner et al., 2019, Angewandte Chemie).
Mar 2020 - Ute Hellmich was awarded a Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung Exploration Grant! These grants are awarded to outstanding junior researchers in Chemistry, Biology or Medicine to explore novel and exciting research areas. We will use this opportunity to study parasitic ion channels and their human counterparts. Watch this space for news updates!
Mar 2020 - We are currently on a SARS-CoV-2 enforced wet lab break, focussing on writing papers and theses. By staying at home, minimizing personal contacts and washing our hands frequently, we are doing our share to support the global efforts to fight against this pandemic. If you need to contact us, we are availble via our university email accounts.
Stay safe, sane and healthy!
