FEBS

In the Frenkel-Pinter lab we study how chemistry led to complex life and aim to bridge the gap between today’s biochemistry and the chemical principles that led to emergence of life on Earth during the era of chemical evolution about four billion years ago. In the research chosen by FEBS, Frenkel-Pinter lab investigates the emergence of primordial proteins, which are molecules that comprise of small building blocks termed amino acids that are vital for life as we know it.
