About
Christina Kohlmann is a leading figure in bioelectrocatalysis and sustainable chemistry, renowned for her pioneering work in electrochemical cofactor regeneration. Her research bridges synthetic organometallic chemistry and enzymatic processes, with a primary focus on developing efficient mediators for indirect cofactor recycling—a critical bottleneck in electroenzymatic synthesis. Her most-cited study, "Synthesis, Characterization and Application of New Rhodium Complexes for Indirect Electrochemical Cofactor Regeneration" (2008, 71 citations), introduced two novel rhodium-based mediators that outperformed established complexes by accelerating the slow electrochemical steps that often limit coupled enzyme reactions. This work provided a foundational framework for integrating electrochemistry with biocatalysis, enabling more efficient, greener synthetic routes for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Kohlmann’s contributions have significantly advanced the design of redox mediators, directly impacting fields such as asymmetric synthesis and energy conversion. Her research is widely recognized for its practical utility, as evidenced by sustained citation interest, and she continues to influence the development of hybrid electrochemical-enzymatic systems. Through her innovative approach, Kohlmann has established herself as a key innovator in sustainable catalysis and bioelectrosynthesis.
