Simone Morra

Absolutely delighted to announce that the 14th International Conference on Hydrogenases and other Redox Metalloenzymes will take place in the UK! Welcome home, sweet home 👏🏻☺️ Stay tuned for more info! @IR_PAAsh @JamesBirrell86 @SimoneMorra8 @vincentgroupox AlisonParkin SteveCarr

Just in case you missed the big news this week, recruitment is currently open to join our programme with a deadline of 17th January 2023. nottingham.ac.uk/bbdtp/index.as… Want to know what it's like to be a part of our cohort and programme? Look no further: youtu.be/Ql3j7oH3KtE

Here's the next case study in our series: Expanding the biocatalytic hydrogenation toolbox with [FeFe]-hydrogenases @HydRegen_Oxford @SimoneMorra8 @UniofNottingham tinyurl.com/2p9de92j

The first article of the #hydrogenase Research Topic @FrontMicrobiol was released now: "Fantastic [FeFe]-Hydrogenases and Where to Find Them" @SimoneMorra8 doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.… frontiersin.org/research-topic… @CoPinni @franzvaletti @greeninglab Still accepting manuscripts ⏰

@TBRauchfuss @vincentgroupox @IR_PAAsh Yes!

@SimoneMorra8 @vincentgroupox @IR_PAAsh does the crystal react with H2?

Very glad to share exciting results! @vincentgroupox @IR_PAAsh Thomas Happe's group pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

@JamesBirrell86 @vincentgroupox @IR_PAAsh Thank you James, yes the Hred region in CpI seems very similar to DdH as you have shown in your 2017 JACS paper.

@SimoneMorra8 @vincentgroupox @IR_PAAsh Nice work Simone et al. I think these two HredH+ states are fascinating. Also, CpI is curious as it always starts with a little bit of Hred (1937 cm-1) in there even at the highest potentials (-200 mV). Do you know why this is? We saw something similar in our ACS Catal paper...

@GiorgioCaserta8 @vincentgroupox @IR_PAAsh Not really, but we will take a look! Thank you Giorgio

@SimoneMorra8 @vincentgroupox @IR_PAAsh Nice work Simone :). I was wondering if you had any look at S-H region to see if the cysteine involved in the proton transfer is changing protonation state in some of the enriched states. Checking adt protonation I suppose is complicated by H2O absorption.

We are hiring! A PhD studentship to discover new [FeFe]-hydrogenases is available now: bit.ly/2U68XNO

Check out the SPT group’s recent publication in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry: “Design of artificial metalloenzymes for the reduction of nicotinamide cofactors” doi.org/10.1016/j.jino…

Excellent work from Winkler, @ARutz94, @franzvaletti @VincentFourmond, Léger and Happe on O2 protection in [FeFe] hydrogenase from C. beijerinckii. Out now in @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

We promise this isn't a #PaidPartnership #ad @AndrewY88 just can't get enough of @SnapGene 🧬🧬🧬 #Labvent

@stripp_lab Really a great day, congrats to all speakers and organisers! @JamesBirrell86 @stripp_lab, @_PatriRM, Livia Meszaros

Slowly coming to an end... Having fun with hydrogenase!

Just a few days to go until our first Applicant Information Webinar - sign up on our website and come and find out about the Nottingham BBSRC DTP: nottingham.ac.uk/bbdtp/about/ap…

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, but its a good ending for @SimoneMorra8 as Santa 🎅 has come early #Labvent

With Christmas 🎄just round the corner, it was time to think about our #Labvent Calendar. As we cannot go past our window this year (and less people on campus) we have decided to shake it up a little....

@stripp_lab Sven, what Americans are you referring to, here? Do you mean US people, or do you include all of them? ;-)

American friends, serious question: When you refer to something being 'European', what European country is meant, like, typically? Which European country is most 'European'?

@stripp_lab @UoNSPT @EBNetUK Hi Sven, sorry it is done now, but they might be recording!

@UoNSPT @SimoneMorra8 @EBNetUK Hi Simone, can we log in?

Today @SimoneMorra8 is presenting his research at @EBNetUK virtual conference, looking at #biohydrogen production #EBNetECR2020

@stripp_lab @Breg_Bio @pierre_ceccaldi @Prof_Sarge @H2ASE_NEWS Not surprised ;-)

@SimoneMorra8 @Breg_Bio @pierre_ceccaldi @Prof_Sarge @H2ASE_NEWS After quite some consideration I decided to cut the figure and make an alone-standing paper out of it ;)

First idea for a [FeFe]-hydrogenase timeline of important events and discoveries. Any thoughts? @h2ase_news
