Institute of Biochemistry

Research at the Institute of Biochemistry focuses on membrane proteins involved in bioenergetics as well as transport.

Since every cell and its organells are enclosed by membranes, a large variety of different proteins embedded in the lipid bilayer are needed to catalyze the transfer of substances, the charging of the membrane and the transduction of signals. One topic of our work is the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase of the mitochondrial chain. The second topic are ABC transporters.
