Researchers have developed a tiny biocatalyst for hydrogen production. It works efficiently with electrons from photosynthesis.
Members of our H2M consortium visited partners in Liège and Paris:
The European-Japanese research group first met in Belgium as part of an international symposium on “Redox Signaling” and then traveled together to the Paris conference “The many facets of photosynthesis”
Researchers have discovered a hydrogen-producing bacterial enzyme that is resistant to oxygen.
On the occasion of Expo 2025, Thomas Happe traveled to Japan again in April to visit our cooperation partners in the Kansai region.
Oxygen can destroy hydrogen-producing enzymes. Researchers from Bochum and Osaka have discovered how such a protein survives in the presence of oxygen.
The Photobiotechnology group had an early Christmas party before winter vacation.
Funding for our joint German-Japanese laboratory in Osaka has been extended until 2026.
A research team from Bochum has been able to reveal a crucial detail that is ultimately essential for the production of hydrogen by biocatalysts.
In May, Prof. Happe and his team visited our long-standing cooperation partners around Prof. Kurisu at Osaka University in Japan.
Formaldehyde can inhibit enzymes that produce hydrogen very efficiently. Researchers from Bochum have discovered how this can be prevented.
