Synthetic Biomolecular Systems
Synthetic Biomolecular Systems
Synthetic methods for the study and manipulation of protein assemblies are subdivided into synthetic-chemical and synthetic-biological methods.
In synthetic-chemical projects, functionalized amino acids or molecular probes are produced with which the function of proteins can be specifically switch and observe the function of proteins in order to investigate the emergent functions of protein systems. of protein systems.
Research projects investigate:
- Circuitry of proteins to understand the assembly principles of protein complexes
- Specific molecular probes to study and manipulate protein complexes in living cells
- Imaging of enzyme activities in living cells
- Synthetic protein clusters
- Mechanism of intraflagellar transport
