Boosting Lignocellulose Biomass Deconstruction with Designer Cellulosomes for Industrial Applications (CellulosomePlus)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The major bottleneck for plant biomass processing is fiber saccharification: the conversion of cell wall lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars (en route to production of value-added chemicals like second generation biofuels). Some microbes enhance this step by using natural self-assembling proteinaceous nanocatalists known as cellulosomes. CellulosomePlus targets rational design of optim ...

Design of Novel Catalysis by Metal Complexes (novcat)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Global concerns regarding the economy, environment and sustainable energy resources dictate an urgent need for the design of novel catalytic reactions. We have recently discovered novel, environmentally benign reactions catalyzed by pincer complexes, including an entirely new reaction, namely the direct coupling of alcohols with amines to produce amides and H2 (Science, 2007, 317, 790). We believe ...

DIGITISING CONTEMPORARY ART (DCA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
Description
‘‘Digitising Contemporary Art’ (DCA) is a 30-month digitisation project for contemporary art, i.e. art made after 1945 - a kind of cultural heritage still largely missing from Europeana which is a single access point for European culture. DCA will create a digital body of high-quality reproductions of 26,921 artworks - paintings ...
