Virtually every biological process proceeds via membranes and their constituents. However, understanding the function of these biological membranes – ranging from basic features of their lipid matrix to the complex activity of its proteins – is one of the most challenging tasks in the life sciences. In our research we unravel the function of mitochondrial membranes by providing atomic level insight into their molecular organization by using advanced liquid and solid-state Bio-NMR approaches and neutron scattering techniques (ESS). In particular, we are unravelling in the interplay of the Bcl-2 protein family with mitochondrial membrane system to regulate programmed cell death.
