Project
Combination of metabolome analysis with protein engineering
For application of enzymes in the form of whole cells, an understanding of metabolic fluxes in the cells is of interest. We want to extend our metabolomics tools (which are currently applied to systems including only shake flask cultivation) to more complex catalytic setups including homogeneous/photo-catalysis in one-pot. Analysis of the intermediates and products of catalytic reactions and simultaneously monitoring of cell metabolism can help to understand and optimize the reaction conditions.
Collaborations are planned with the groups of Prof. Bornscheuer and Dr. Höhne.
