Proteins are inherently dynamic molecules, and their motions are intimately linked to their biological function. My main research interest is to decipher how dynamic processes in proteins relate to function. The "machineries" we are interested in comprise enzymes, chaperones and membrane proteins, all of which have dynamics as a key property. We use and develop NMR spectroscopy in solution and under magic-angle spinning, as well as MD simulations, cryo-EM, SAXS and crystallography.
