A new method for the preparation of medicinally important chiral sulfur compounds has been developed using a class of enzymes called ‘Unspecific Peroxygenases’.

Marc Dickinson of the University of York has received both a NERC Independent Research Fellowship and the Lewis Penny Award and for pioneering research using protein breakdown in teeth for dating the last 3 million years.

New research demonstrates a top-down approach to solution-phase protein structure determination that combines 2D-IR spectral libraries with machine learning.

Scientists at University of York were delighted to be recognised with an “outstanding research paper” award from the Royal Society of Chemistry.

York researchers have changed how we think about spore germination by showing that spores restart energy metabolism early on to power their awakening from dormancy.

Professor Avtar Matharu, a leading researcher in the Department of Chemistry, has been awarded an MBE for Services to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Interfaith and Community Cohesion.

Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesising hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate - offering fresh hope in the global fight against drug-resistant infections.

In work carried out at the University of York, a team of scientists led by Prof. Paul McGonigal have discovered state-independent ionic conductivity.
