Hackbarth, Steffen, Dr. rer. nat. (Experimental Physics / Photobiophysics)
Duration of project: 02/2019 - 04/2019
Financer: DFG: SonstigesThe 3nd Chinese-German Workshop on Singlet Oxygen and Photodynamic Effects will be held on 8-13 April 2019, in Fuzhou city in Fujian Porvince, China, which is a completely independent meeting. The aim is to provide a bilateral scientific and technica ...
Analysis of Functional Brain Connections by In Vivo Optogenetics and Holography
Hegemann, Peter, Prof. Dr. (Experimental Biophysics)
Duration of project: 11/2020 - 10/2023
Financer: DFG: SachbeihilfeThe relationship between the function and connectivity of cortical circuits has been a long-standing theme in neuroscience. Although since decades ago the predominant pathways of cortical information processing in primary sensory area have been descr ...
A Quantitative Force Map of the Mitotic Spindle
Reber, Simone, Dr. (Department of Biology)
Duration of project: 05/2018 - 07/2021
Financer: DFG: SachbeihilfeThe goal of this research proposal is to understand the way in which cells engineer micrometerscale structures. In particular, we aim to understand how different force generating systems collectively define the shape of the metaphase spindle. The bip ...

Müller, Peter, (Molecular Biophysics)
Duration of project: 02/2019 - 07/2022
Financer: DFG: SachbeihilfeProtein kinases are one of the biologically most important protein families which play a significant role in the regulation of nearly all physiological processes since they modulate the function of proteins. Due to this unique importance, mutation(s) ...
CRC 1078/1: Gating and Ion Transport Dynamics in Channelrhodopsin and Light-Driven Pumps (SP B02)
Hegemann, Peter, Prof. Dr. (Experimental Biophysics)
Duration of project: 01/2013 - 12/2020
During the recent funding period, we characterised anion-conducting channelrhodopsins (ACRs) including the novel family of MerMAIDs identified by Tara Ocean metagenomics. Within this funding period, we will further study MerMAIDs and continue with th ...
CRC 1078/1: Structural Basis of Proton Release in Water Oxidation by Photosystem II (SP A05)
Zouni, Athina, (Experimental Biophysics)
Duration of project: 01/2013 - 03/2021
In oxygenic photosynthesis, water is oxidized and dioxygen is formed at the Mn4Ca complex of photosystem II (PSII), a 750 kDa protein-cofactor complex embedded in the thylakoid membrane of plants and cyanobacteria. Reliable structural models of PSII ...
CRC 1078/1: Structural Dynamics of Channelrhodopsins (SP B01)
Hegemann, Peter, Prof. Dr. (Experimental Biophysics)
Duration of project: 01/2013 - 12/2020
The proposed project aims at an elucidation of the mechanism governing ChR gating and transport. For the understanding of protonation dynamics that occur during activation (gating) of the channel and during transport of the ions across the membrane, ...

Bartl, Franz, Prof. Dr. (Biophysical Chemistry)
Duration of project: 04/2017 - 12/2020
The focus in this project is on the spectroscopic investigation of different representatives of channelrhodopsins and phytochromes. The aim is to explore the photochemistry and the protonation dynamics that direct the photocycles and consequently the ...
