Congratulations to Claudia Höbartner (@chlab.bsky.social) on being awarded the very prestigious Albrecht-Kossel-Preis by the @gdch.de at #Biochemistry2026! Prof. Höbartner receives this award for the first structure of a DNAzyme and the development of methyl transferase ribozymes. (1/2)

How can we study the function of nucleotide-based #SecondMessengers? @oliveiramann.bsky.social presented her group's exciting findings in this field at #Biochemistry2026. She e.g. presented the #cryoEM structure of OAS2, which has key #antiviral functions. linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii...

Great talk by Kathrin Leppek (@katleppek.bsky.social) at #Biochemistry2026. She talked about her work on the topic "Synthetic circRNAs employ IRES activity for translation in cells and in cell-free translation systems". link.springer.com/article/10.1... #ChemSky #Biochemistry #ChemBio #RNA #IRES

Der Moment ist gekommen! 🏅 Heute ehren wir 10 herausragende Wissenschaftler*innen mit dem #LeibnizPreis 2026 der DFG! 👏 Für ihre bahnbrechenden Arbeiten und Verdienste in ihren Fachrichtungen erhalten sie je 2,5 Mio. € zur Förderung ihrer Forschung.
