We have contacts and collaborate with different national and international colleagues.
In these collaborations, we constribute by
-
The characterization and identification of membrane-associated cytochromes and their respective haem species.
-
The investigation of ligand binding and redox-spectroscopic (Vis-, FTIR-) characterization of haem proteins.
-
Cloning, homologous and heterologous expression of bacterial membrane proteins and membrane protein fragments.
-
Deletion of eubacterial genes that code for proteins of bacterial respiratory chain complexes.
-
Site-directed mutagenesis and mutant expression of the integral membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin from the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum.
