Proteins are complex supramolecular biological systems that perform a broad variety of tasks in living organisms. Fully comprehending the connections between protein structure and functioning is one of the greatest challenges of the current research in life sciences. We will employ various methods of high-resolution frequency-domain optical spectroscopy at low temperatures, including single molecule spectroscopy, to achieve improved understanding of structure-function relationships in proteins in general and in light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes in particular.

蛋白质是复杂的超分子生物系统，在生物体中执行各种任务。充分理解蛋白质结构与功能之间的联系是当前生命科学研究的最大挑战之一。我们将在低温（包括单分子光谱）下采用各种高分辨率频域光谱法的方法，以提高人们对蛋白质的结构功能关系的理解，尤其是在轻度收获的色素 - 蛋白质复合物中。
