Old tradition as a prelude to carnival. Women are taking power. The idea has been around since the Middle Ages. At a time when women were subordinate to men in everything, there was an “upside-down world” on one day during carnival time.

Crystal structures of the SAM-utilizing ribozyme, SAMURI, were decoded, revealing the structural features that distinguishes itself from SAM riboswitches and thus enables the alkyl transfer reactions.

The crystal structure of the SAM-analog utilizing ribozyme SAMURI reveals a fascinating active site architecture and provides new insights into the evolution of catalytic RNAs and riboswitches.

Our Christmas party is not only a great party, it's also a team building activity that enriches our social life and always promises to be a great evening full of surprises.

Innovation in Chemical Sciences - this was the motto of the symposium, which was attended by ten scientists and ten PhD's and Master's students from five Bavarian universities at the University of Zagreb from November 19 to 21, 2024. Among the participants was our PhD student Evgeniia Dorinova.

Dr. Carolin Scheitl, a researcher at the University of Würzburg, was awarded the Bavarian Culture Prize in the science category for her doctoral thesis on RNA chemistry.

We are pleased to welcome Arijit Das Adhikary from IIT Bombay as a visiting PhD student at our research group for the next two months.

On 1st October 2024, Dr. Carolin Scheitl gave a talk at the "GDCh Biochemistry 2024 (September 30th - October 2nd 2024), Dortmund, Germany" about the topic "Ribozymes for RNA labelling via adenosine alkylation".

From September 23 to September 25, Hsuan-Ai Chen attended the 4th Symposium on Nucleic Acid Modifications in Mainz, Germany.

Evgeniia Dorinova and Konstantin Isenberg attended at the "VII. DNG Graduate School Nucleic Acid Chemistry" at Bad Herrenalb with training sessions, scientific and technology talks and also scientific writing.
