Welcome to the 

Biostructural Interactions Group!

We study the molecular mechanisms and motions of (membrane) proteins from microorganism to man

Lab News!

06/2024 - We welcome Jan as a new postdoc! 

09/2023 - Iryna joins us as a MSc student from Lisbon! Welcome!

08/2023 - A new Dr in the house! Congratulations Kerstin on a fantastic job bringing TRP channels and flaviviruses together in a super multidisciplinary PhD!

07/2023 - We welcome Sreelakshmi, our new PhD student to the team!

05/2023 - BIG news as our new 800 MHz NMR ascend spectrometer is delivered - it literally flew into the NMR platform!!! Exciting times ahead for biostructural interactions! Big thank you to the University, the Cluster of Excellence and EU-EFRE REACT for making this possible!

New Publications!

Kerstin's new paper with the Hildt lab bridging our passion for TRP channels and Neglected Tropical Diseases out now:  Zika virus replication is impaired by a selective agonist of the TRPML2 ion channel.
10.1016/j.antiviral.2024.105940 


New paper with the Köhnke and Hertweck labs accepted in Angewandte Chemie! We investigated the structural dynamics  of the rhizoxin PKS with an integrated structural biology approach and find a new ACP "parking position" on the core module! Congratulations Maria, Mai and all co-authors!


Our paper on the structural dynamics & regulation of TRPV4 by its intrinsically disordered regions has been accepted in Nature Communications! Congratulations Bene, Christoph and all other co-authors!
