Molecular Biotechnology (2018): “Haloquadratum walsbyi yields a versatile, NAD+/NADP+ dual affinity, thermostable, alcohol dehydrogenase (HwADH)”

The discovery of new sources of biocatalysts is challenging and often not that rewarding. Delighted for Jenni’s work on this new ADH from a very unusual archaeon which is virtually impossible to culture in the lab. Molecular Biotechnology...

OBC (2017): “Extreme halophilic alcohol dehydrogenase mediated highly efficient syntheses of enantiopure aromatic alcohols”

I am delighted that Diya’s final paper has now been accepted! Diya went back to Jordan after finishing his PhD in the group and now runs his own lab at the Royal Scientific Society. He secured funding to finish a very interesting project using the halophilic...

Amino Acids (2017): Stabilization of Angiotensin-(1–7) by key substitution with a cyclic non-natural amino acid

Well done to Anita! Her work finally rewarded! This paper was the result of our collaborative work with Prof. Gallagher at Wake Forest University in North Carolina and the major stabilising effect of incorporating our non natural cyclic amino acid into the Angiotensin...

OBC (2016) : “Stereoelectronic effects in the reaction of aromatic substrates catalysed by Halomonas elongata transaminase and its mutants”

Well done for Martina e Matteo, the work of the last few months has been successfully accepted by OBC. New paper in our library: Stereoelectronic effects in the reaction of aromatic substrates catalysed by Halomonas elongata transaminase and its mutants. ...
