Gustav Berggrens grupp

Metallenzymer och semi-artificiell fotosyntes
Vår forskning
Berggrengruppen studerar hur biologiska system använder metallinnehållande enzymer för att genomföra några av livets mest grundläggande kemiska reaktioner, och hur dessa principer kan användas för att utveckla nya metoder för hållbar energiomvandling. Forskningen är förankrad i biooorganisk kemi, i gränslandet mellan kemi och biologi, med fokus på att förstå hur naturen styr transporten av elektroner och protoner genom noggrant organiserade molekylära strukturer.
Många av de katalytiska processer som upprätthåller liv – däribland fotosyntes, cellandning och andra centrala metaboliska processer – är beroende av metallcentra inbyggda i proteiner. Genom att studera dessa system i detalj strävar vår forskargrupp efter att förstå de kemiska principer som styr biologisk katalys och att använda denna kunskap för att utveckla biohybrida och bioinspirerade teknologier för produktion av solbränslen och lagring av förnybar energi.
Vi finansieras för närvarande av Vetenskapsrådet, Olle Engkvists Stiftelse (infrastrukturstöd) samt Europeiska unionen genom European Innovation Council (EIC).
