XBR2DB2Q@ddathd21.bitnet ("Rainer Fuchs, TH Darmstadt") (11/22/88)
Let me briefly introduce our group to the BIONET community: We are at the institute of biochemistry at the Technical University of Darm- stadt, FRG. Our interests mainly focus on two topics: Molecular mechanisms of the interaction of proteinases and their inhibitors (concentrating on elastase and cathepsins, cystatins and stefins), and the blood-brain-barrier of mammals. We approach these problems in two ways, classical protein chemistry and modern molecular biology (cDNA and genomic cloning, expression in E. coli and cell cultures etc).
