Check out this cool new paper by Martin Winkler et al. who investigate the slow maturation of [FeFe]-hydrogenase DdH. Turns out that exchanging certain peptide motives allows for significant faster H-cluster insertion! @chemicalscience.rsc.org

@fau.de campus in snow — winter wonderland.
Quiet paths, soft light, everything slowed down. ❄️
Off to the synchrotron 🚀 Mara guiding our awesome students Samira and Yueheng through high-resolution structure solving. @fau.de #crystallography #desy #science
Artemis 2 - Rollout der Rakete soll morgen (17. Jan.) 13 Uhr MEZ beginnen. Zur Liveübertragung bitte ausreichend Popcorn bereithalten! Denn der riesige Crawler wird die Rakete mit einem Tempo von 1,6 km/h zum Startplatz befördern, sodass es Stunden dauern dürfte. www.nasa.gov/news-release...
The IUCr 27th Congress and General Assembly will be held in Calgary, Canada, from August 11th-18th, 2026 - It's not too early to start planning - Learn more and sign up to express your interest -> zurl.co/FP2ho We'll be there!
Registration and abstract submission is open for eurobic18.eu. Hopefully we see all of you (bio)inorganic chemists in Groningen - the coolest place to be in Europe this summer (and probably also a bit wet but fantastic speakers!).
💥🔥 LATE POST BUT HUGE NEWS: WE HAVE A FRESHLY MINTED PhD!!! Bianca defended her dissertation in Düsseldorf two weeks ago. Congratulations, Dr. Axinte! @hhu.de
🎄✨ Inorganic Chemistry Institute Christmas Celebration! ✨🎄
A wonderful evening with the entire institute — great conversations, good food, and festive spirit all around. Grateful for an amazing team and another year of discovery, experiments, and collaboration.
Happy holidays to everyone! 🔬❄️💙
Analyzing the complex chemistry of Glühwein with the lab — conclusions: excellent aroma profile, strong bonding effects. 😉🍷✨

Metalloproteins make up ~30% of the PDB archive.
To ensure FAIR data practices, wwPDB is remediating existing polyatomic metal-containing entries and CCDs — improving their chemical and coordination descriptions for better findability and reuse.
A new partnership between the ERC and the African Academy of Sciences signed today opens opportunities for top African researchers and ERC grantees.
