SilverSURF Environmental pollution with harmful quantities of heavy metal ions has become an urgent problem in these times. SilverSURF makes use of the flagellar filament that represents one of the largest scaffolds in nature.
CancerSURF Lung cancer is one of the most malignant cancers with poor prognosis. Next to the common therapies like surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, antibody therapy is more specific.
RiboSURF Ribosomes synthesize proteins from amino acids using mRNA as blueprint and tRNAs delivering amino acids. However, the natural ability of ribosomes is limited to 20 L-amino acids. Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) synthesize only small peptides, however, from a large number of natural and non-proteinogenic amino acids. with non-proteinogenic amino acids.
SURFkiller The work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) harbours the risk of their release to the nature. After release, serious consequences such as gene exchange with unmodified organism or ecosystem imbalance cannot be excluded.
