Structural Proteomics

Protein complexes are a fundamental organisational unit of the proteome. They are functionally fine-tuned towards context-specific needs, i.e. with respect to cell types or across individuals. We are interested in how protein complexes are assembled and how variations in their stoichiometry alter their function. We use methods such as cross-linking mass spectrometry, thermal protein profiling, quantitative proteomics and data mining to study the dynamics of protein complex architecture.
