BvK LaB uses light to unravel the structures and dynamics of biologically important proteins and protein complexes for understanding the mechanisms of biological phenomena.
The research in BvK LaB comprises molecular biology, recombinant or native protein production and purification, protein characterization, sample preparation for crystallography, electron microscopy or time-resolved laser absorption spectroscopy, structure modelling, biochemical measurements (enzyme kinetics), and complementary techniques such as cross-linking mass spectrometry, SAXS (Small Angle X-ray Scattering), and CD (Circular Dichroism) Spectroscopy
