Fizykochemia miękkiej materii

Kierownik zespołu

prof. dr hab. Robert Hołyst

Tematyka badawcza

Analizujemy reakcje biochemiczne na poziomie pojedynczych molekuł stosując metody spektroskopowe ze zliczaniem pojedynczych fotonów. Badamy reakcje biochemiczne w probówce i w żywych komórkach. Oprócz tego rozwijamy nowe metody nierównowagowej fizyki statystycznej. Tworzymy również podłoża do SERSa.

Effective screening of Coulomb repulsions in water accelerates reactions of like-charged compounds by orders of magnitude.
Nature Communications, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-34182-z
The reaction speed of like-charged compounds in water is extremely slow due to Coulomb repulsions. Here, the authors boost kinetics up to 5 million times by screening these interactions and increasing the local concentration of reactants using positively charged micelles. They show the effect of two independent systems and present a theoretical explanation.
