      Excitable media are a class of spatially extended biological and chemical systems, which display a characteristic type of pattern formation by supporting the propagation of nonlinear excitation waves. In the heart, plane ...
    • Conformational Changes in Ligand Binding Processes 

      Voß, Béla (2015-03-11)
      Ligand and protein-protein binding processes play a crucial role in many biological processes. In many cases ligand binding is associated with conformational changes within the receptor protein. While structure determination ...
    • Constitutive Modeling for Tissue Engineered Heart Repair 

      Kalhöfer-Köchling, Moritz (2020-10-27)
      Computer-aided therapy design is an intricate endeavor intertwining all scales from molecules to cells and tissues to organs. Changing one such component in a living system can have far-reaching effects, diffcult to ...
    • Cotranslational folding of HemK C-terminal domain 

      Daberger, Jan (2023-03-17)
      The correct folding of proteins is essential for the survival of the cell. Despite the importance of the question, it remains largely unclear how proteins, in particular large multidomain proteins with mixed α-helical and ...
    • Curvotaxis and Pattern Formation in the Actin Cortex of Motile Cells
