Job Boekhoven
@BoekhovenLab
Professor in supramolecular chemistry at the TU Munich figuring out the chemical principles of life.
Pumping molecules without a pump? Back-to-back with @BoekhovenLab, we describe minimal systems that use chemical energy (via catalysis) to transport molecules against a concentration gradient. Us: shorturl.at/smQNF Job's team: shorturl.at/zftps 🦋for details &🧵
Wow!🤩
