Congratulations on the First Original Publication

Sometimes persistence pays off. Sebastian Myllek's excellent bachelor thesis resulted in the development of an activity assay for haloperoxidases, which Alexander Fejzagic then refined and finally was able to apply. The fluorescence based assay is able to measure both the decrease of the educt and the increase of the product continuously in one measurement. The colleagues had to show persistence in order to overcome hurdles in calibration. But it was worth it, because the manuscript not only offers the most extensive kinetic data of the scientifically most widely used haloperoxidase, but also demonstrates how sophisticated fluorimetric data sets can be made manageable.
Especially the great interdisciplinary communication has advanced the work here - thanks Fabian & Julian. After the Junior Research Group Secondary Metabolism Enzymology was able to publish a review article on halogenating enzymes last fall, this scientific paper is not only Alex's first original work but also the first of the group. More will follow soon - well done. The paper can be found openly at this link.
