Our department is interested in the structural analysis of biological macromolecules.
The major topic is how proteins adopt to their environment via conformational changes.

Our department is using highresolution NMR spectroscopy of biomolecules, biophysical characterization of protein folding and time resolved NMR spectroscopy of protein reactions. These methods help us to analyse structure formation and structure – dynamic correlation of proteins and their targets.

We develop methods for characterizing protein-membrane interactions and membrane protein reconstitution reactions in various model membrane systems. Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy and microscopy techniques as well as cryo-electron microcopy are used to study chemical structure-function relationships, lateral segregation in membranes, membrane remodeling and COPII-mediated intracellular transport vesicle formation.
