- Technique for producing variants of natural substances
To synthesize potential drugs or natural products, you need natural substances in specific mirror-image variants and with a high degree of purity. For the first time, chemists at the University of ... - New method for accelerated observation of microbiological high-throughput processes
Being able to observe microorganisms and their cellular components is key to understanding fundamental processes that go on inside cells-and thus potentially developing new medical treatments. ...
- A look behind the scenes of machine learning in drug research
Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the rise. Until now, AI applications generally have "black box" character: How AI arrives at its results remains hidden. Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bajorath, a cheminformat... - New antibacterial agent decoded
More and more bacterial pathogens are developing resistance. There is an increasing risk that common drugs will no longer be effective against infectious diseases. That is why scientists around the... - Researchers "film" novel catalyst at work
A novel catalysis scheme enables chemical reactions that were previously virtually impossible. The method developed at the University of Bonn is also environmentally friendly and does not require r... - Simulation provides images from the carbon nucleus
What does the inside of a carbon atom's nucleus look like? A new study by Forschungszentrum Jülich, Michigan State University (USA) and the University of Bonn provides the first comprehensive answe... - New study proves significant reduction of the harmful gases ammonia and methane
Ammonia released into the environment is a major problem. Agriculture is considered the most prolific polluter - it is responsible for 95 percent of these emissions in Germany. The colorless, acrid...
- New function of the CRISPR gene scissors discovered
For several years now, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors have been causing a sensation in science and medicine. This new tool of molecular biology has its origins in an ancient bacterial immune system.... - Molecule boosts fat burning
A study led by the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn has identified a molecule - the purine inosine - that boosts fat burning in brown adipocytes. The mechanism was discovered in ...
- "Molecular sea of flags": nanostructures self-assemble and cover specific surfaces
Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a molecular structure that can cover graphite surfaces with a sea of tiny flagged "flagpoles". The properties of this coating are highly variabl... - New group of antibacterial molecules identified
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Umeå University, and the University of Bonn have identified a new group of molecules that have an antibacterial effect against many antibiotic-resistant bacter... - Clarifying a previously unknown resistance mechanism of staphylococci
The skin bacterium Staphylococcus aureus often develops antibiotic resistance. It can then cause infections that are difficult to treat. Researchers at the University of Bonn have uncovered an inge... - Study provides evidence for "new physics"
Is the Standard Model of particle physics incorrect at key points? Recently there has been an increase in experimental observations that deviate from the predictions of this widely accepted physica... - Bioplastics in the sustainability dilemma
Scientists at the University of Bonn investigated the factors affecting the global land use impacts and CO2 emissions of plant-based plastics. They found out that the sustainability of plant-based ... - Physicists observe competition between magnetic orders
They are as thin as a hair, only a hundred thousand times thinner - so-called two-dimensional materials, consisting of a single layer of atoms, have been booming in research for years. They became ...
- Sustainable reaction mechanism for the environmentally friendly production of alcohols
Chemists from the University of Bonn and their US colleagues at Columbia University in New York have discovered a novel mechanism in catalysis. It allows the synthesis of certain alcohols more chea...
- The contribution of particulate matter to forest decline
Air pollution is related to forest decline and also appears to attack the protecting wax on tree leaves and needles. Bonn University scientists have now discovered a responsible mechanism: particul...
- Internet Addiction - Causes at the Molecular Level
Everybody is talking about Internet addiction - many people spend hours online and immediately start feeling bad if they are unable to do so. Medically, this phenomenon has not yet been as clearly ...
