Great paper in Angewandte by my PhD colleague @ChemNIvanov , controlling enzymatic activity using light-responsive molecules.
Our new paper is out in @angew_chem showing how photoswitch-mediated control over an enzyme can time-program pH changes, relevant for regulation of life-like materials. https://t.co/cTsSpQbHrO Grateful to co-authors Alex Slivkov and Prof. Wilhelm Huck. @Huckgroup @radboudscience

How do coacervates direct the outcome of (bio)chemical reactions? We developed a model to predict their effect on bimolecular, polymerization, self-replication and oscillating reactions, to guide experiments. Exciting results for origins of life & biology! https://t.co/IOckn7iTQD

Great to see some of the condensates that I've been working on during my PhD could have played a key role in this paper, for example the elastin like polypeptide system GFP-K72 and the nucleolus model NPM1-rRNA.
