- Popular Science: Understanding the power of honey through its proteins
- Honey is a culinary staple that can be found in kitchens around the world. Humans have used honey throughout history, and its long shelf life and medicinal properties make it a unique, multipurpose natural product. Although it seems that a lot is known about the sweet substance, surprisingly little is known about its proteins. Now, researchers report in ACS’ Journal of Natural Products new data on honey proteins that could lead to new medicinal applications.

- Researchers reveal the metabolic capacity of a termite gut protist and its associated bacteria using single-cell (meta)genomics.
- Parasitology department´s scientists (Sebastian Treitli a Vladimír Hampl) in collaboration with researchers from University of British Columbia, sequenced the genomes of an isolated individual cell of the protist, Streblomastix strix, and at least eight different species or strains of bacterial symbionts which cover its surface. They used this genomic data to reconstruct the metabolism within this complex symbiotic system.

- Junior ERC grant is going to the Botany Department
- The awarding of a European Research Council (ERC) grant recognizes research of the highest quality. In the category of junior grants for researchers who received their PhDs within the last seven years, only one was given this year in the Czech Republic. Like last year, it was clinched by the Faculty of Science at Charles University. Botanist Filip Kolář can now count on five years of financial support to investigate the importance of multiplying genetic information (polyploidization) in plants. The results of his work will help in understanding evolutionary mechanisms in plants and may even be useful in breeding.

- Mechanism of zeolite hydrolysis in Nature Communications
- Theoretical chemists from the Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry (Christopher Heard, Lukáš Grajciar and Petr Nachtigall) investigated the mechanisms of hydrolysis in aluminosilicate zeolite CHA. Their calculations predicted an unexpected high lability of Al-O and Si-O bonds in liquid water at room temperature. These predictions were confirmed by experimental collaborators at the University of St Andrews. This work makes us reconsider the conventional view of zeolites as static, inert materials under mild conditions.
