Enzyme Design and Evolution
Dr. Adrian Bunzel
Research area
The global energy crisis challenges us to develop more efficient strategies and innovative solutions to harness solar energy. Enzymes are nature's solutions to the challenges of catalysis, honed by billions of years of evolution. In our group, we combine computational design and directed evolution to engineer enzymes for solar energy conversion. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, we create photoenzymes for carbon capture, electricity production, and nitrogen fixation.
Enzymes can be created by computational design (yellow) and directed evolution (blue).
