Pictures Photo Contest 2022

1. The World Behind the Droplets

I've been working on syn-Bimane. After synthesising and characterising a novel derivative, the solubility of the compound in several solvent systems was tested. This photo was taken at the end of the solubility test. — 2. The Wheel of Fluorescence

3. Synthetic Lab flowers

When a Ph.D. student spills a substance that she has been working on for two months all over herself, her supervisor comes to the rescue. — 4. The substance will not go to waste

5. Organic synthesis

HANDLING WHAT I INVENTED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME WAS AN AMAZING EMOTION !
It was 2020, the very first image of the Flavocillin antibiotics ( Patent ref. no : EP3752509 ) I had synthesized , I still remember it very clearly . When I handled it for the first time after NMRs and TLC confirmed the structure was Flavocillin , I was very excited that I have discovered a new Penicillin antibiotic. After activity results confirmed it is a powerful anti-infective agent, I cried because of happiness . I am amazed at how quickly time passes ! Every time I synthesize my compounds I feel like I am still handling a bottle of Flavocillin . I love Science so much ! — 6. FLAVOCILLIN VERY FIRST DETECTION

Protein crystals soaked with an inhibitor are fished and then flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. To solve the crystal structure, we need to collect diffraction patterns from synchrotron X-rays. — 7. Fishing protein crystals

Introduction of normal, gardener life into the lab - coupling reaction of the garden and med-chem lab :-) — 8. Garden in the flask

TLC is a very common and important organic and medicinal chemistry procedure to detect compound formation. I have performed the TLC for one of the reactions sometimes no spot and sometimes new spot which gives hope to any chemistry people. here my TLC is giving a devil smile that means that the new spot is a product or something else, but it gives hope to me that something new is there. — 9. Devil smile of TLC

10. Smoky Reaction

11. Drug dependent modern life

Our world is made up of tons of molecules, and the light shows us the right way. — 12. The World We Live In

13. The world is a laboratory to the curious mind

14. Chemist's Office

Separating complex mixtures of products by column chromatography is an art by itself. Occasionally though the roles change and the machine becomes the skilled artist producing incredible patterns on the test tubes. — 15. Chromatissimo

Strange picture formed during the filteration through Büchner funnel which was looking similar to the Vecna from very famous series Stranger Things. — 16. The Upside Down - The rise of Vecna

During my mobility at the picturesque Goethe University in Frankfurt, I get to have a walk with my chemical friends several times a week, while I take them to be analysed at the NMR laboratory. Sometimes we walk in the sun, and sometimes we get soaked in the rain, but overall we enjoy combining the biology on nature and the chemistry. — 17. Walk from the lab to the NMR

Have you ever thought every healthy cell in your body is a perfectly ticking 24-hour clock?
The cellular time-keeping mechanism is known as the circadian clock, which synchronises our internal time with the rotation of the Earth and the consequent day-night cycles. These 24-hour biological rhythms can get disrupted and get shorter or longer than 24 hours, leading to countless diseases and disorders. However, the uniform circadian regulation throughout the body prevents the application of small molecules for 'fixing' locally disrupted clocks. Therefore, we have developed photo-responsive circadian modulators that can extend the cellular 'day' to 28 hours upon irradiation with violet light and bring it back to normal with green light. Our approach allows for control (and 'fixing' of the biological time with high spatial and temporal resolution and paves the way to first chronotherapeutics. — 18. Medicinal chemistry meets photochemistry

Imagen de grupo de cistos de artemia tomadas bajo el microscopio .Me recuerda a meteoritos en el espacio — 19. Una imagen de la vida que escapa al universo de nuestros ojos.

Studying the anatomical parts of artemia salina in stage I by means of a microscope. — 20. The beautiful microscopic world of biology

Artemia salina eggs under the microscope — 21. Small packages of life

In this opportunity I show you 3 projects about DIY. In the red box project agitator, project Antena Yagi platform and project centrifuge, its electronic circuit. Students from second year belong to a research group in Ingeniering Physics. — 22. Fulfilling my childhood dreams
