Molecular Biomimetics
Working toward molecular scale solutions for a sustainable world.
This group is dedicated to discussing research in molecular biomimetics from all around the globe. We will investigate the sustainability and ethics of biotechnology and exemplify the work of scientists whose research truly follows the principles of biomimicry.

In vitro protein synthesis
"How can we improve current in vitro peptide synthesis methods? These methods are still bio-assisted, requiring cytoplasmic extracts from living cells. We need to somehow mimic the cell's complex tr" ...more

Molecular Mimic of Photosystem II Hydrogenase
"This research group claims that the ruthenium in their solar panels can be recycled. If the ruthenium somehow made its way into the environment and was oxidized it would become highly toxic, so it " ...more
