Laboratory of Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of life processes. Our research focuses on how proteins form, function and degrade inside cells. In short: "Cellular Biochemistry".

Metabolite Identification

Multistage mass spectrometry (MSn) generating so-called spectral trees is a powerful tool in the annotation and structural elucidation of metabolites and is increasingly used in the area of accurate mass LC/MS-based metabolomics to identify unknown, but biologically relevant, compounds.
