The aim of the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt is to understand the physical principles and molecular mechanisms of life, in particular those that involve cellular membranes and the proteins within them. Membrane proteins play a central role in many biological and medically relevant processes. About 170 scientists and support staff work in three departments to investigate the structure of membrane proteins and their function in native or reconstituted biological membranes.
