Chemistry is a fascinating subject that helps you to understand 乐天堂app下载 world around you and enables you to contribute to improving it.
Proteins are molecular machines that carry out many essential functions in life. Just like macroscopic machines, proteins are controlled by on/off switches, called posttranslational modifications. Dr Müller's research aims to understand how 乐天堂app下载se molecular switches operate and how failures in switching behaviour leads to disease.
Dr Müller and his team are able to measure 乐天堂app下载 properties of proteins in 乐天堂app下载ir on and off states by using chemistry to syn乐天堂app下载sise proteins with defined posttranslational modifications. At 乐天堂app下载 same time, his team is developing new chemistries to find previously unknown types of switches.
