GRK 2670: Amphiphilie Plus: Selbstorganisation weicher Materie durch multiple nicht-kovalente Wechselwirkungen, Teilprojekt B4: Diffusional and Co-Diffusional Analysis of Polyphilic Protein-Protein and Protein-Membrane Interactions

In biology, protein-protein interactions and protein-lipid interaction lead to highly complex, dynamically self-assembling and restructuring systems. The concept of amphiphilicity has been instrumental in gaining an understanding of biomembranes, including the fundamental self-assembly of the lipid bilayer and the integration of the hydrophobic transmembrane domains of integral membrane proteins.
