Welcome to the AG - EPR Spectroscopy
Research
We are working in the field of structure-dynamics-function relationships in oligonucleotides, proteins, and their complexes. Our main method is Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (EPR). We synthesize model compounds and spin labels for new EPR methods.
Software
We have developed programs for the analysis of Pulse Dipolar EPR measurements
PhD Projects
We are always looking for motivated PhD students interested in working in an interdisciplinary environment.
Our research topics cover biochemistry, chemical synthesis, and the development and application of EPR spectroscopic methods. If you are interested, get in touch with Olav Schiemann.
Bachelor/Master Projects
We are always interested in motivated Students for Bachelor or Master projects. For a selection of topics, see below or get in contact with Prof. Olav Schiemann.
Torsten Maly and Frederic Jaspard from Bruker came for discussions to Bonn.
Catrin started her cryoEM work in the lab of Natalie Strynadka in Vancouver.
Caspar outstandingly defended his doctoral thesis.
Congratulations and well done!
The Deutsche Welle interviewed Olav on the Chemistry Nobel Prize 2024.

Ein Bericht zum "Navi für Moleküle"
Auf der Suche nach dem Metallion
Mit GPS-Prinzip ans Ziel: Wissenschaftlern am Institut für physikalische und theoretische Chemie der Universität Bonn ist es nun gelungen, ein Navigationssystem für Moleküle zu entwickeln, um Metallionen in Enzymen zu lokalisieren, was in der Zukunft bei der Medikamentenentwicklung von großer Bedeutung sein kann
