Research at the PTC Institute concerns the investigation of the microkinetics, molecular dynamics and structure of biomolecules and model systems.
The PTC Institute is connected to various research initiatives at the Goethe
University, including:
Research topics focus on the investigation of chemical, biochemical and
biophysical processes in complex environments, described at a molecular
level. To this end, a variety of methods from modern physics, chemistry and
biochemistry are combined in an interdisciplinary setting. Some emphasis is
placed on the development of new spectroscopic and theoretical techniques that
allow one to characterize complex systems and the underlying fundamental
processes with increasing precision.
The PTC Institute currently hosts the following research groups:
AK Richert: Electron Paramagnetic
Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy
AK
Wachtveitl: Time Resolved Molecular Spectroscopy
AK Burghardt:
Theoretical Chemistry of Complex Systems
AK Heilemann:
Super-Resolution Fluorescence Microscopy
AK
Morgner: Non-Covalent Mass Spectrometry
