They say the sincerest form of flattery is mimicry, and we really love histidine! ❤️ Check out our most recent work on histidine mimics: Genetic incorporation of diverse non-canonical amino acids for histidine substitution. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations to Dr. Giada Bedendi on successfully defending her PhD thesis! It's been a good journey! All the best for the future. Special thanks to Dr. Plinio Maroni for guiding Giada over these last few years.

Congrats to Nils and Riya (Buonsanti group @EPFL) for winning an oral presentation prize at the annual meeting of the NCCR Catalysis!

Giada's paper is online (chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....)! We report on the sensitivity of the rate-determining step of DPOR on the assay conditions and suggest that cooperativity is present in enzyme-substrate complex formation prior to electron transfer and catalysis.
