Welcome to the AG - EPR Spectroscopy
Research
We aim at deciphering structure-dynamics-function relationships in biomacromolecular complexes and in materials for quantum information science. We apply and develop for this pulsed, multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) methods. We use synthetical and biochemical methods to prepare model compounds, new spin-centers and biological samples.
Software
We have developed programs for the analysis of Pulse Dipolar EPR measurements
Bachelor/Master/PhD Projects
We are always looking for motivated 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.

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
