Peptides are naturally occurring molecules composed of a small number of amino acids. They control many vital functions in the organism, such as blood pressure, pain, memory, appetite, growth, ..., which make them very interesting as potential therapeutics. However, their rapid degradation and their poor oral bioavailability limits their application as drugs. Our team develops methods to make these active peptides more stable, so that their ...

High Resolution NMR Centre Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Description of the NMR laboratory The High Resolution NMR Centre is basically the NMR lab of the VUB providing all NMR spectra and NMR know how to any researcher of the VUB - or outside the institution - needing NMR for purposes of chemical substance identification and structure determination, either in scientific collaboration, or in service context. This means that, in particular, other research units of the VUB (ORGC, FYSC, FCOL, ULTR, ...

Sustainable Chemistry for Metals and Molecules KU Leuven
Coordination chemistry aims to study the effect of ligand geometry and nature on the central metal ions. These are transition metals (3d, 4d or 5d), lanthanides (4f) and actinides (5f). The symmetry of coordination mainly determines the electronic structure of the metal ions and influences in this way the spectroscopic, electrochemical, thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the complexes. A lot of applications of coordination compounds are ...
