Biotechnology: Study Award for a New Building Block in the Drug Toolbox
Simon Schröder has worked out how enzymes can be used to more easily form the desired bond between two nitrogen atoms. The building blocks for new drugs that help fight bacteria that are resistant to known antibiotics, for example, should be as cost-effective and environmentally friendly as possible.
