GRK 1962: Dynamic Interactions at Biological Membranes - From Single Molecules to Tissue

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The guiding theme of this interdisciplinary Research Training Group is processes in and on biomembranes, spanning different time and length scales. Research in the Research Training Group focusses on the interplay of lipids and proteins as the major components of biomembranes. In particular, the Research Training Group addresses the mechanisms underlying the localisation of lipids and proteins in membranes, and the relationships between the specific membrane composition and dynamics, protein-lipid interaction and force transmission across membranes with regard to the manifold membrane functions in cells. Accordingly, the research programme encompasses structural and functional studies of biomolecules on the atomistic (protein and membrane structures), mesoscopic (e.g., membrane-receptor interactions, diffusion) and macroscopic scale (membrane internalisation, cell growth, tissues).
