Their goal: "Investigating how #enzymes utilize electric fields to control chemical reactions rapidly, selectively, and under mild conditions"
Fingers crossed for @notherchemist.bsky.social, Ashwin Chari, Anna Krawczuk, Arwen Pearson & @mgimferrer.bsky.social and their NEXT– #QuantumBiology project!
How do enzymes carry out chemical reactions with almost perfect precision & efficiency? Scientists at our institute, @uni-goettingen.de, & @uni-hamburg.de will study this question with funds provided by @volkswagenstiftung.de – ~€2M over 5 years. Congrats to all! 👏
