One topic of particular interest is related to the fascinating range of interactions that govern the functioning of biomembranes, their components and proteins interacting with them. This is a very dynamic and biologically important environment, where structural biology and biophysical understanding go hand in hand.

We leverage biological SSNMR to enhance our understanding of these processes: it allows studies of lipid membranes that closely mimic the biomembrane, permits characterization of the lipids as well as the proteins, and reveals not only structure but also dynamics. Understanding of these issues is essential for membrane fusion and fission, as well as membrane protein functioning and numerous other processes.
