in Technische Universität München,
Weihenstephan, Freising, Germany
In 1993 I worked in the group of Professor H.-L. Schmidt (Department of General Chemistry and Biochemistry, Munchen Technische Universitat, the stay was supported by Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung, Germany). During this stay I continued my research in the field of monolayer-modified electrodes, electro- and bioelecrocatalysis. The main results of this period include:
monolayer immobilization of natural cofactor - pyrroloquinoline quinone,
PQQ, on a Au electrode and application of PQQ-modified electrodes for electrocatalytic
oxidation of NADH and reconstitution of a PQQ-dependent apo-enzyme (#52,
#54,
#55
in the
publication list),
formation of molecular dyads and triads consisting of quinones with different
redox potentials and covalently linked to a Au-electrode surface (#48 in
the publication list),
alignment of protein molecules covalently immobilized on graphite electrodes
using covalent coupling via unique amino acid residuals (#51
in the publication list).

Unfortunately, Professor H.-L. Schmidt has already retired and his group doesn't exist any more. I lived in a small beautiful town Freising that I will never forget.
