Biography

Thorsten Dieckmann's research focuses on RNA-related studies, particularly the catalytic properties, structure, and function of RNA-protein complexes. His work involves using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques for structure determination of these complexes, which requires specific isotopic labeling methods such as 13C, 15N, and 2H. He also investigates molecular dynamics of ions binding to RNA to provide a deeper understanding of RNA-protein interactions at the molecular level. His research interests encompass areas such as RNA catalysis, viral infections, and cellular defense mechanisms, with applications extending into biochemistry, biophysics, bionanotechnology, and the development of biosensors. Additionally, Dieckmann has contributed to the field through various publications that examine protein interactions and the structural investigations of biochemical compounds.
