Amino acids are important substances for biological research and interesting building blocks for the production of chemicals and medicines. Researchers from the University of Groningen have adapted the enzyme methylaspartate ammonia-lyase by means of ‘targeted evolution’ in the laboratory. They were thus able to develop biocatalysts for the synthesis of new amino acids – a method that offers important advantages for the environment. The results were published online last weekend in the prominent scientific journal Nature Chemistry.

Rhodococcus equi bacteria can cause a lethal form of equine pneumonia in foals. Despite the seriousness of the disease (known as ‘rattles’), until now there was no vaccine available. Researchers at the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute (GBB) of the University of Groningen have now succeeded in developing a highly promising candidate vaccine. They recently published their research in PLoS Pathogens.

The quality of chemistry research in the Netherlands is very high and it makes a major contribution at an international level to chemistry-related knowledge. Internationally speaking, a number of research programmes are even frontrunners in their field. These are the conclusions of a visitation committee from quality assessor QANU, which reviewed 58 research programmes at seven Dutch universities.
Professor of Molecular Genetics Oscar Kuipers has been awarded the title of ‘Simon Stevin Master 2011’ by the Technical Sciences Foundation (STW). Kuipers will receive a grant of EUR 500,000 to spend on research as he sees fit.
Researchers at the University of Groningen have succeeded in experimentally determining the maximum diameter of a pore in a cell membrane. They achieved this by directing a series of organic molecules that gradually increased in size through the pore. The diameter turned out to be significantly larger than had previously been calculated with the help of models from molecular dynamics. The research, on which biologists and chemists worked closely together, was published this week in the Early Edition of the scientific journal PNAS.

The Groningen professors Bauke Dijkstra and Lubbert Dijkhuizen have deciphered the structure and functional mechanism of the glucansucrase enzyme that is responsible for dental plaque sticking to teeth. This knowledge will stimulate the identification of substances that inhibit the enzyme. Just add that substance to toothpaste, or even sweets, and caries will be a thing of the past. The results of the research will be published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

By switching off a single gene, the bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor can produce up to six times as much antibiotic. This is revealed in research carried out by biologist Jeroen Siebring, who is graduating from the University of Groningen on 5 February 2010. Thanks to this fundamental new insight, it may well be possible to produce important strains of antibiotics more cheaply in the future.
