The group of Protein Design 🧬 and Self-Assembly @LMU_Muenchen, Germany

De novo designed oligomers that respond to copper, small molecules, and phosphorylation... Using a single design strategy? 🧬⚙️ 🎉 Excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint—a collaboration between the Khmelinskaia, Correia, Schoeder and a Tinnefeld labs! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A generalizable interface-seeded framework for de novo design of functional oligomers

Protein oligomers are ubiquitous in biological systems and essential for function. However, the de novo design of oligomers that controllably assemble in response to exogenous stimuli remains challeng...

As Santi finishes his time in the lab, we thank him for all his hard work and contributions and wish him all the best for what comes next. We are also delighted to welcome Gilana to the lab for her internship and are excited to have her with us. 😊

Successful day welcoming prospective high school students & giving them a glimpse into courses & research life at LMU. They visited our lab, learned about protein design & saw protein purification up close. A big thanks to the organizers and our lab for their effort✨
