Welcome at the Institute of Biochemistry

The Institute of Biochemistry at the Graz University of Technology focuses on basic research questions in the field of protein biochemistry and is tightly connected to local groups addressing questions in protein structural analyses, protein technologies and biocatalysis. The institutes mission is to understand biological processes at the molecular level using an integrative structure-function analysis approach. Currently, emphasis is put on three major research areas: mechanisms of enzyme function in biosynthetic pathways, computational protein design and allosteric regulation mechanisms in sensor-effector systems.
