Prize for Fraaije's video on enzyme research
During the IFFR in Groningen, the video on Enzyme Engineering made by Sensu about the research of Prof. Marco Fraaije won the prize for Best Groningen Film in the category Best Commissioned Film.
For the third year in a row, the prize for the Best Groningen Film was awarded during the IFFR in Groningen. The Best Groningen Film elections were initiated to stimulate and support the Groningen film industry. Enzyme Engineering by Sensu is all about the enzyme research conducted by Prof. Marco Fraaije.
Enzyme engineering
Fraaije works on ‘enzyme engineering’ – improving natural molecular machines, enzymes, to make them suitable for use in industry. Fraaije studies the structure of these large proteins and looks for ways to improve them. Within the European research project ROBOX, his research group creates enzymes to be used in industrial processes.
