From chemical structure to biological function
Research into the molecular basis of living systems is the leitmotif of biochemistry. A methodological diversity is developing with remarkable dynamism in order to elucidate and influence complex chemical structures and their biological functions and interactions. Modern methods of structural analysis make it possible to elucidate the biological functions of macromolecules and their complexes. Detailed insights are also gained into the mechanisms of enzymatic catalysis, material and electron transport, signal transduction and cell-cell communication. As a result of basic biochemical research, for example, recombinant proteins with therapeutic potential have been made available. Genetically modified enzymes with new substrate specificities are also increasingly being used in white biotechnology.
The resulting fascination is the basis for a lively interdisciplinary network.
