research
Christian Griesinger's working group deals with the application and method development of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for biological and pharmacological problems. Sensitivity-enhanced sequences, sequences for measuring coupling constants and new parameters such as cross-correlated relaxation have been developed. In addition, enzyme mechanisms were elucidated and structural studies were carried out on proteins , RNA and biomolecular complexes.
