Geochemical Protoenzymes
Dr. Martina Preiner
How did life emerge from non-life? How did cells develop from a geochemical environment? Is it possible to directly connect biochemistry with the environment from which it presumably arose? Our lab is zooming into processes where geochemistry and biochemistry can transition into each other. We use various imaging techniques as well as chemical, biochemical and geochemical methods for our experimental and analytical setups.
