CATACOM Organocatalytic Coordination Microenvironment Design

Coordinator: BEN-GURION UNIVERSITY OF THE NEGEV (IL)

An overlooked aspect in organocatalyst design relates to nature’s ability to produce a multitude of biochemical products using only a limited number of mechanisms and building blocks. Rather than relying on structural modifications of the catalytically active unit, enzymatic structures primarily vary throughout the coordination microenvironment in which the active unit is embedded. This evolutionary structural principle boosts the number of compounds and reactions that can be efficiently realized by a catalytically active structural motif. In contrast, organocatalysis research has predominant…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €3.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2027-10-01 to 2032-09-30.
