Controlled movements at the nanoscale are fundamental to a variety of biological processes, such as ATP synthesis – the universal energy carrier in our cells or cell deformations necessary for muscle contraction. All these processes are made possible by biological molecular machines that convert che...

Researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications provide important guidance for designing novel functional materials for triplet sensitizers and fluorescent sensors. Intersystem crossing is a significant photoph...

An international team of researchers including the Chair of Medicinal Chemistry (Prof. Dr. Peter Gmeiner) has succeeded in “filming” the activation of an important receptor. They froze the involved molecules at different points in time and photographed them under the electron microscope. They were t...
