| The center of excellence, “Munich Center for Integrated Protein Science" (CIPSM), which was founded in 2006, connects internationally recognized scientists from the two universities in Munich with those from the neighboring Max Planck Institutes and the GSF in the Munich area. This new interdisciplinary network creates an excellent scientific environment in which the individual research facilities can develop their expertise synergistically. The central idea of CIPSM is to achieve a deeper understanding of biological processes at the molecular and cellular level. This requires interactive research of groups from different disciplines, including chemistry, physics, and biology. The unifying theme is the understanding of proteins in their natural context at all levels of organization of life. Imbedded in this framework, our group is working on the biological functions of modified natural RNA nucleosides. This research encompasses different topics, ranging from synthesis to the investigation of their biological functions, such as their biosynthesis, as well as their interactions with the ribosome or enzymes during translation. |
