Happy and honored to present our work on metal-modified nucleic acids in a plenary lecture at @eurobic18.bsky.social in wonderful Groningen. A big thank you to @roelfesgroup.bsky.social and @sylvestrebonnet.bsky.social for organizing this great conference! 🧬

Welcome to the official BS page of the 18th European Biological Inorganic Chemistry Conference (EuroBIC 18), taking place in Groningen, the Netherlands 🇳🇱, from July 12–16, 2026. See you next week! Visit eurobic18.eu for the full programme, schedule, travel information, and other practical details.

We had a great time at #KCT2026 and Vicky did an incredible job representing our team with her talk 🧬! Many thanks to the organizers for a fantastic meeting! 👏

It was a colorful hour full of explosions, 💥 shining colors 🌈 and eye-opening facts about light. Many thanks to Uwe Karst, Michael Holtkamp, and the whole lecture-team for the spectacular #Christmaslecture “Let there be light!”. Video: Linus Peikenkamp @uni-muenster.de. Music by pixabay radio.

Excited to share our study "Are i-Motif Structures in DNA Compatible with Cytosine–Ag(I)–Cytosine Base Pairs?" in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social 🧬 Congrats to Vicky and thanks to Miguel Galindo, Bernie Kraatz and everyone else involved for this collaboration 🎉 🔎Check it out: doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Are i‐Motif Structures in DNA Compatible with Cytosine–Ag(I)–Cytosine Base Pairs?

An i-motif/duplex junction was evaluated with respect to its ability to replace the protons from the hemi-protonated C:CH+ pairs by AgI ions to form C–AgI–C base pairs. Interestingly, only one such m...
