Research Focus

MAPs Single Molecule Motility / Single-Molecule Motility of Motor Proteins

One focus of the working group is the functional characterization of kinesins, myosins, and dynein at the single-molecule level. Intracellular transport, for example, in nerve cells, the separation of replicated chromosomes during cell division, the beating of flagella and cilia, and muscle contraction in multicellular organisms are examples of movements by and within living organisms.
