Welcome to the AG - EPR Spectroscopy
Research
We are working in the field of structure-dynamics-function relationships in oligonucleotides, proteins, and their complexes. Our main method is Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (EPR). We synthesize model compounds and spin labels for new EPR methods.
Software
We have developed programs for the analysis of Pulse Dipolar EPR measurements
PhD Projects
We are always looking for motivated PhD students interested in working in an interdisciplinary environment.
Our research topics cover biochemistry, chemical synthesis, and the development and application of EPR spectroscopic methods. If you are interested, get in touch with Olav Schiemann.
Bachelor/Master Projects
We are always interested in motivated Students for Bachelor or Master projects. For a selection of topics, see below or get in contact with Prof. Olav Schiemann.
Catrin is thrilled to announce that she has received a prestigious DAAD "Research Fellowship for Doctoral Candidates." For three months, Catrin will be conducting research at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
During her stay, Catrin will work within the Faculty of Medicine, joining Natalie Strynadka's group. Her research will focus on mapping Cas13a using cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM).
Maxie was giving a talk in our Institute’s seminar and we had many scientific and related discussions.
Oliver Ernst from the University of Toronto stayed in our lab within the framework of his Adenauer-Research-Prize from the Humboldt-Foundation.
Jörg Matysik visited us and gave a lecture on Photo-CIDNEP in our Institute Seminar.
Ein Bericht zum "Navi für Moleküle"
Auf der Suche nach dem Metallion
Mit GPS-Prinzip ans Ziel: Wissenschaftlern am Institut für physikalische und theoretische Chemie der Universität Bonn ist es nun gelungen, ein Navigationssystem für Moleküle zu entwickeln, um Metallionen in Enzymen zu lokalisieren, was in der Zukunft bei der Medikamentenentwicklung von großer Bedeutung sein kann
