Molecular Biophysics
Prof. Matthias Rief
Research Field
Proteins are fascinating examples of self-organized molecular machines. Without any help a polypeptide strand can fold into functional threedimensional structures. We are interested in studying the function and folding process of proteins on the single molecule level. Examples are single molecule folding/unfolding studies or the motility of molecular motors in optical traps.

Offers for Theses in the Group
- Cytoskeletal basis of neuronal development
- Neuronen bilden im Laufe der Embryonalentwicklung ihre funktionalen Netzwerke aus. Bei der Regulation spielen Mikrotubuli und ihre Modifikationen eine wesentliche Rolle. In Kollaboration mit Dr. Monika Leischner (Neurozellbiologie, TUM Biederstein) sollen die quantitativen Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen Regulatoren biophysikalisch untersucht werden.
