For updates of the lab and a small sneak peak of "Longwitz Lab" science, you can now visit the group's website, all about Evolvable Catalysis.

After my first week at @unihh, I am even more excited than before. Lots of interesting chemistry, motivated students, welcoming colleagues and a super-team of supporters, especially in the IT. I can't wait to give my first lectures in "Hörsaal A" next week. 🦥

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

After more than 4 years abroad, I am going back to Germany to join @unihh as a lecturer of organic chemistry! I will miss Groningen immensely, but now it is time for something new!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@DFS_Chemistry @RoelfesGroup Danke Daniel. Der Start in Groningen waere ohne dich deutlich langweiliger gewesen.

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

A good start to the new year: I was awarded the Postdoc Prize 2024 of the Faculty of Science and Engineering in Groningen! Very happy to receive this award to recognize my achievements in the @RoelfesGroup ! Now, I am looking for a new adventure!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

Another boron enzyme from my postdoc, this time with a new protein scaffold. Getting closer and closer to natural enzymes design with our own catalytic dyad! Thanks to all who contributed!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@t_vornholt @MethodsPrimers Nice one!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@XinLiu315 @angew_chem Congratulations Xin! Cool stuff!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@BartBrouwer7 @ACSChemRev @francdefel @IvanaDrienovska @RoelfesGroup @StratinghInst Mighty thorough, great job Bart!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@CJohnsonChemist Legend! I think you are completely right!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

What would a reaction like this be called? Not really a deracemization, not really a desymmetrization, a double kinetic resolution?

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@hering_lab @Petrov_chem @likat_rostock @beweries_LIKAT This reaction is so cool, Christian! Also love the title! And even a protein in the introduction, great stuff!

Cool paper using LmrR Boron Enzymes!

Hanging out at my poster P4-2 at #biocat2024. Come talk to me about not boring, but boron enzymes.

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@hering_lab @chemieverband @likat_rostock @SchulzGroup Very deserved, Glückwunsch!

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

@mingming0629 @RoelfesGroup Haha, that one is rather new. At least it helps not getting confused with the Bachelor students...

[Lars Longwitz @Longlarf]

Presenting my results from the @RoelfesGroup at #nordbioII in Stockholm. A great event so far, lots of interesting biocatalysis.

[DocZ @effe_zeta]

This month, an exciting paper has been published in @Nature from @RoelfesGroup, reporting the design of a boronic acid-integrating #enzyme that allows chiral #organocatalytic reactivity not achievable with natural or chemical catalysts. 1/3
