Sven Ullrich
Feodor Lynen Research Fellow
Hiroaki Suga Lab, University of Tokyo
In a high school classroom in Germany, a teacher named Ms. Jaeger handed her students an unusual assignment: using the amino acid alphabet, dream up your own polymer proteins by drawing their chemical structures on paper. For teenage Sven Ullrich, something clicked. The idea that twenty building blocks could encode …
