One chemist’s solution for re-using industrial polymers: the cell-like microgel
02 / 06 / 2021
Polymer chemist Julian Thiele of the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden extracts the protein-making skills from living cells and places them inside polymer microgels. His ambition: to teach the cell’s enzymes to accept synthetic substrates that can make new compounds, for example from inert industrial chemicals. “We are ...
