RESEARCH - Nicolas Cornelissen

Starting my independent research, I am interested in combining organic chemistry with enzymes to obtain nucleoside-5′-triphosphates (NTPs). These NTPs can serve as cofactors in enzymatic reactions to either elucidate biological function or to generate nucleic acids with improved properties for medical applications.
