A snapshot from a working day in the lab before holidays.
Experiments running, data taking shape, and ideas evolving through discussions.

It was also a pleasure to host our guests today — exchanging perspectives, sharing experiences, and connecting around science.

Step by step, this is how progress is made. 🔬

Our editorial is out! 🚀

Proud to share our newly published editorial for the Special Issue:

Can a dense ZIF outperform a porous one? 🤔

Our new paper is out 🎉

We investigated biomimetic mineralization of glucose oxidase in a dense ZIF-zni framework, and the results challenge a common assumption in the field:

👉 Higher porosity ≠ better biocatalysis

🔬 GOx@ZIF-zni
⚡ 2051 IU/g activity
🔥 Enhanced thermal stability (65°C)
🧪 Strong SDS resistance

Despite its dense (zni) topology, GOx@ZIF-zni outperforms the classical ZIF-8 (sod) system — thanks to defect-mediated accessibility and optimized synthesis conditions.

💡 Key takeaway:
Topology + synthesis conditions control enzyme performance.

Proud of this work and the team 🙌

Our new review paper on protein engineering and immobilization of imine reductases for pharmaceutical synthesis is now published.

The review summarizes recent advances in imine reductases, protein engineering strategies, and enzyme immobilization for the synthesis of chiral amines and transformations relevant to pharmaceuticals and natural products chemistry.

Biocatalysis is increasingly becoming a powerful complement to classical organic synthesis, particularly in asymmetric synthesis and complex molecule transformations, offering high selectivity and more sustainable processes.

🧬 How can we improve enzyme immobilization in M*Fs?

Our new paper in Biotechnology Letters explores a simple but powerful idea:
modify the enzyme surface before biomimetic mineralization.

By introducing charged amino acid residues (Asp or His) onto glucose oxidase, we enhanced its interactions with Zn²⁺ and 2-methylimidazole, enabling more efficient encapsulation in ZIF-8 frameworks.

The resulting enzyme@M*F biocomposites showed:

⚡ higher catalytic activity
🧪 improved stability
🧼 stronger resistance to washing and elevated temperature

These results highlight how chemical surface engineering of enzymes can improve biomimetic mineralization and create more robust enzyme–M*F biocatalysts.

Чланови били су у петак 23. 1. у радној посети Факултету инжењерских наука, Универзитета у Крагујевцу, где смо са Проф. Ненадом Филиповић разговарали о могућностима заједничких апликација за ЕУ и друге међународне научне пројекте.

Разговори су настављени у неформалној атмосфери, уз размену мишљења о тренутном стању у науци и даљим правцима развоја.

Исти људи, други угао и формат.
Сарадња која траје — у и ван лабораторије.
Леп завршетак године 🎄✨🎉

Прослава Нове године са сарадницима — у недељу, 28.12.
Разговори, смех и добра енергија ван лабораторије.

Детаљи из другог угла и формата — за пола сата 😀🎉🎄

One afternoon.
One lab.
A lot of hands, a bit of chaos, and great energy.

Sometimes cleaning and decorating the lab turns into team building.
Ready for new experiments.
