Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A key modern approach is genetic code expansion (GCE), which makes it possible to modify proteins directly in living cells to give them tailor-made properties. Professor Irene…
[21.10.24 written by Patrick Scheerer] Professor Klaus-Peter Hofmann, a leading biochemist and biophysicist, revolutionized our understanding of visual signal transduction through his research on rhodopsin and G protein-coupled receptors. His work laid the foundation for advances in cellular biology and drug development, leaving a lasting…
This year's GBD Master's Prize was awarded to Tim Pelczyk forhis thesis “Comparative characterization of the binding modes of the hexapeptide UR-AK86c and the endogenous ligand PP at Y4R by mutagenesis studies”. The thesis was written as part of the SFB1423 project “Molecular mechanisms of…
