Matthias Höhne studied Biochemistry and then performed his PhD thesis in biotechnology with the focus on biocatalysis with amino transferases under the supervision of Prof. Uwe Bornscheuer in Greifswald. In his post-doc time (2010-2011) with Prof. Andres Jäschke in Heidelberg, he studied in the field of DNA-transition metal hybrid catalysis. In 2012, he established as Junior professor his research group "protein biochemistry" at Greifswald University – with the main topics enzyme discovery and applied biocatalysis. Since 2018, Dr. Höhne leads an ERC starting grant team, which aims to create selective biocatalysts for light-driven reactions via protein engineering.
Research Interests and Competences
- Biochemical and functional characterization of proteins from protein databases with as yet unknown functions
- Structure – sequence – function relationships
- Biocatalysis, focus on amine synthesis
- Enzyme cascades
- Combining photocatalysis and biocatalysis,
- Protein engineering (ERC starting grant project “LightZymes”)
Motivation
"Researching a topic together is simply nicer than alone. Together we not only come up with new ideas, we also see more quickly what and what will not work and can inspire each other."
