Structure prediction and design of smaller protein domains have advanced remarkably. On the other hand, understanding of the process of protein folding into its tertiary structure is still an unsolved problem that is…
Proteins are key building blocks of all organisms. In recent years, we realized that new protein structures can be constructed based on different architecture than natural proteins. One such example is protein origami…
An international research team guided by Dr. Nikola Minovski from the Theory Department D01, National Institute of Chemistry and Prof. Dr. Marko Anderluh, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ljubljana, synthesized a…
Aging is a major risk factor for the development of age-related diseases such as, among others, dementia, heart disease, chronic respiratory disorders, and cancer. In the treatment of most of these diseases, we can…
Researchers from the Department of Materials Chemistry (D10) and Department of Analytical Chemistry (D04) in collaboration with Institute Jožef Stefan published an article entitled ‘Effect of the Morphology of the…
Fe-N-C-based materials are a promising alternative to platinum for catalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic polymer membrane fuel cells. However, the problem with these new materials is their limited…
Intron removal from pre-mRNA splicing is an essential part of gene expression and regulation that is required for the production of mature, protein-coding mRNA. The spliceosome, a molecular machine composed of several…
Researchers from the Department of Materials Chemistry (D10) and Department of Analytical Chemistry (D04) in collaboration with Institute Jožef Stefan published an article entitled 'Increasing the Oxygen-Evolution…
Two researchers of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Technology (D-09) participated in an interesting study of the shape-selective activation of inert C-H bonds to oxidatively couple two toluene molecules.
Syngas is a platform mixture of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). By producing an appropriate ratio of H2/CO, syngas can be directly utilized in the fine chemical industry. With a promising recycle of carbon as…
