''Goal'' : Structural and mechanistic characterization of artificial metalloenzymes. Introduction of a catalytically active metal moiety within a protein scaffold affords artificial metalloenzymes that catalyze a variety of organic transformations. With the aim of understanding the mode of action and further optimizing such man-made enzymes, X-ray crystallography has proven valuable.

''The candidate'' : The ideal candidate has a MSc degree in chemistry, biochemistry or physics, and a strong interest in structural biology. Good communication skills in either English or German are expected. Knowledge of protein crystallography or enzymology would be an advantage.
