Lectures (7 lecture units) will take place on Wednesdays 14:00-15:30 from the 4th of November 2026, (the lecture slides will be available for download shortly before the respective lecture). Lecture dates: 04.11., 11.11., 18.11., 25.11., 2.12., 9.12., 16.12.

This interdisciplinary course on the interface of organic chemistry, chemical, molecular and synthetic biology aims to provide the current status of research on the following topics: Artificial genetic polymers and oligonucleotide analogues; unnatural base pairing – expansion of the genetic alphabet; artificial ribozymes for efficient catalysis and recognition (SELEX, DNAzymes, foldamers); biosynthetic incorporation of unnatural aminoacids (UAAs) into proteins;protein engineering – production of enzymes with unknown or unnatural properties, ab initio protein design (Chemistry Nobel 2024!), directed evolution, theozymes; Artificial lipid vescicles as models for protocell multiplication.
This lecture will be continued in SoSe2027 as a course "The molecular origins of life", focused on processes which could allow abiotic generation of biomolecules (aminoacids, lipids, nucleotides, sugars) on the early Earth for the following origin of life.
