New chemical reactivities in photoredox catalysis with CO2 and boronic acids as sustainable building blocks in batch and continuous-flow KU Leuven
Despite the changing face of chemistry, the necessity to produce molecules in a controlled manner has not diminished. However, the increasingly complex synthetic problems being posed by nature, medicine and materials demand new reactivity concepts and strategies in order to meet these challenges. Therefore, the development of new and benign methodologies facilitating the atom economical construction of biologically and industrially important ...

Absorption and Catalysis at Liquid Phase Conditions: fundamental models accountin for the Aggregation State Ghent University
The general applicability of kinetic models requires an accurate description of the thermodynamics of the system and the components herein. Whereas in current research mainly mixtures were considered, consisting of hydrocarbons, within this project the application domain will be extended to hetero-atom containing hydrocarbons.

Protein Conformational Complexity and Metalloenzyme Catalysis: A Combined Molecular Dynamics and QM/MM Study KU Leuven
Enzymes are biological catalysts - molecules that speed up chemical reactions but do not undergo transformation themselves. Most enzymes are proteins, polymers of amino acids, that wrap into complex three-dimensional structures. The enzymes of interest here also contain transition metals, which participate in the chemical reactions. The aim of the work in the proposal is to study how changes in the conformations of the enzymes - the detailed ...
