Physical Chemistry

Prof. Dr. Thorben Cordes

“The chair for Biophysical Chemistry specializes in the development and application of novel optical spectroscopy and imaging techniques including single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and super-resolution imaging, which allow to map structure and function of biomolecules and biochemical processes in space and time.”

Prof. Dr. Rasmus Linser

“Using NMR spectroscopy in solution and in the solid state, our group elucidates the atom-resolved structure and dynamics of proteins. In particular, we seek new methodology for access to these questions, which are then applied to proteins of biological or pharmacological interest.”

Prof Dr. Stefan M. Kast

“Our group is engaged in theoretical models and computer simulations of systems in solution. Methodical developments for thermodynamics up to spectroscopy are combined with applications to small molecules and biomolecular structures.”

Prof. Dr. Müge Kasanmascheff

“Kasanmascheff Lab is interested in exploring the in vitro and in vivo structure, function and dynamics of biomolecules that play key roles in fundamental biological processes such as biosynthesis of DNA building blocks, FeS proteins and higher-order DNA G-quadruplex structures. To reach our goal we employ multi-frequency EPR, dipolar and hyperfine spectroscopies, photochemistry, spin labeling and protein biochemistry.”

apl. Prof. Dr. Claus Czeslik

“We are interested in the interaction of biomolecules and polymers with aqueous-solid interfaces. In these studies, parameters, such as temperature, pressure and composition of the solvent, are varied to control the properties of the interfacial films.”
