To get a better understanding of our organic or inorganic system we are investigating, a huge variety of biological, chemical and physical techniques are used. Over the last years and decades we gained a lot of expertise in certain methods and are still interested and willing to get in touch with many more to finally reaching our goal to answer some questions.
Please, tell me how you look! Crystallography gives us a picture of the actual structure of our sample and hopefully more insights on their function.
It is so much more than just a peak! Using x-ray spectroscopy to investigate fundamentals of the kinetics and structure of our sample.
Purifying and crystallizing is not an easy job. But to understand nature, a lot of various techniques are necessary.
Offering them a nice warm and sunny home. Our organic research starts with the cultivation of microorganisms.
Where is the sample? With a variety of different techniques we are bringing our sample in the right position for the experiment.
Is it oxidized or not? EPR spectroscopy can answer this crucial question and gives us so much more details on the reaction.
It's getting cold here. If we want to measure the structure in a non-crystallized sample cryo-EM is our method of choice.
The theory tells us more! With modulations and theoretical calculations we can model what we cannot see in our actual experimental data.
Is it still increasing? Using time-resolved spectroscopy we can follow the reaction and measure and determine the kinetics.
What can you tell me? Using FTIR spectroscopy we can gain basic information of for example the detergent environment and the actual structure of our protein.
