Bächinger Lab Research
Interest:
Collagen structure, stability and folding.
We are trying to decipher the basic principles which govern
collagen folding and stability. For this purpose we need to know
detailed atomic structures and biophysical properties of different
collagen domains: triple helix, cystine knots and specific
trimerization domains. Chain selection, association, specific
staggering of triple helix, folding and stability of collagens are
key questions of our research.
