Welcome to my home page.

Do you like metalloenzymes? Keep on reading. The research in my group concentrates on a nickel-containing enzyme involved in methane production, iron-sulfur-cluster-containing enzymes involved in isoprene synthesis and a new, probably iron-containing enzyme that oxidized hydroxylamine.

Our research includes the growth of cells, protein overexpression, protein purification and characterization. The characterization is done with different spectroscopical techniques. The standard method in my lab is Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.

A set of manuals is available for students want to use this technique or learn more about it.
