Dr. Patrick Scheerer
Research interests
-
elucidating molecular details and mechanisms of signal transduction processes in membrane proteins (e.g., G-protein-coupled receptors), signal transduction-related proteins (e.g., arrestin, phosphodiesterase), photoreceptors (e.g., phytochromes, opsins) and metalloenzymes (e.g., [NiFe]-hydrogenases)
-
protein X-ray crystallography, molecular biology/protein production methods, biophysical assays (e.g. MST/nanoDSF/Nanodiscs/SMALPs), LCP crystallisation, free-electron laser techniques, cryo-electron microscopy (in cooperation)
