<i>How much is just maths?</i> Investigating problem solving in chemical kinetics at the interface of chemistry and mathematics through the development of an extended mathematical modelling cycle Open
Problem solving in chemical kinetics poses substantial challenges for university students since it often involves significant use of mathematics as a tool and language, with challenging translations and transitions between chemical phenome…

Probing Substrate Transport Effects on Enzymatic Hydrogen Catalysis: An Alternative Proton Transfer Pathway in Putatively Sensory [FeFe] Hydrogenase Open
[FeFe] hydrogenases, metalloenzymes catalyzing proton/dihydrogen interconversion, have attracted intense attention due to their remarkable catalytic properties and (bio-)technological potential for a future hydrogen economy. In order to un…

Class Id ribonucleotide reductase utilizes a Mn2(IV,III) cofactor and undergoes large conformational changes on metal loading Open
Outside of the photosynthetic machinery, high-valent manganese cofactors are rare in biology. It was proposed that a recently discovered subclass of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), class Id, is dependent on a Mn2(IV,III) cofactor for catal…

The Dps4 from Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 is a member of His-type FOC containing Dps protein class that can be broadly found among cyanobacteria Open
Dps proteins (DNA-binding proteins from starved cells) have been found to detoxify H2O2. At their catalytic centers, the ferroxidase center (FOC), Dps proteins utilize Fe2+ to reduce H2O2 and therefore play an essential role in the protect…

International Comparisons of Tertiary Chemistry Education: A Best-Practice Approach for Development and Quality Enhancement Open
There are many reasons chemistry education varies among nations and institutions: cultural traditions, societal expectations, socio-economic factors, and educational resources, to name just a few. At the university level there is also a de…
