Engineered enzymes for enantioselective nucleophilic aromatic substitutions

The engineered enzyme SNAr1.3 significantly enhances stereoselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions with high efficiency and selectivity, representing a major improvement in chemical synthesis.

Synergistic photobiocatalysis for enantioselective triple radical sorting

Combining thiamine-dependent enzymes with photoredox catalysis allows for efficient enantioselective three-component radical cross-coupling, enhancing chemical synthesis capabilities.

Overcoming low vision to prove my abilities under pressure

Kamini Govender developed a greener method for insulin biosynthesis, screened antiviral drugs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and overcame challenges with her genetic eye condition. She advocates for equity in science and sustainability in research.

She faced stigma due to her rare genetic eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa, which limited her peripheral vision but didn't deter her from achieving a PhD and continuing research work in biocatalysis.

Expanding chemistry through in vitro and in vivo biocatalysis - Nature
