Max-Planck-Institut für biophysikalische Chemie

The Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer Institute) is a multidisciplinary institute whose scientific departments have different methodologies and complement each other with regard to biological questions. The entire field of work goes far beyond that of a traditional discipline. The departments and research groups are involved in the spectroscopy and dynamics of chemical reactions, the study of living cells in three dimensions with nanometer resolution and at the single molecule level, the molecular and electrophysiological investigation of neurotransmitter release, a wide variety of genetic, cell biological and biochemical studies to clarify the identity and function of components of signal transduction pathways, the intracellular transport of macromolecules, translation and transcription, the circadi
