Protein biophysics
Proteins are amongst the most essential components of all living matter. Cells for example contain up to 30 wt% of thousands of different types of proteins. We study the self-organization of this ‘biological soft matter’ and its effect on their functional and mechanical properties.
Current interests
- Antifreeze proteins: from mechanism to material
- Single-molecule localization microscopy of proteins at interfaces
- Protein liquids
- Thin, large area protein crystals for ultrafast electron diffraction
- Functional and dysfunctional crystallization of proteins
- Stability of concentrated protein mixtures
- Intrinsically disordered proteins
- Peptide/membrane interactions
- Enveloped viruses
