IUB Hosts Workshop on Directed Evolution |
A workshop for young scientists is offered biannually by the DFG Schwerpunktprogramm SPP1170 (priority program) “Directed Evolution to Optimize and Understand Molecular Biocatalysts”. This year’s workshop will take place from July 30 until August 1 on the IUB campus. 70 scientists from the 17 DFG institutions participate in the program. They will present and discuss the research and its influence on applications with representatives from companies like BASF AG, Henkel KGaA, Schering AG and Brain AG.

All cellular reactions are catalysed by proteins (enzymes) or RNAs (ribozymes). Life cannot be understood without understanding how these molecular biocatalysts function and how they are stabilised. The ongoing sequencing of entire genomes and the possibilities of manipulating individual genes at will has led to important progress towards this goal, but central questions have remained open.
