Dr. Sven Stripp

I did my Ph.D. with Thomas Happe at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. In 2010, I joined the group of Joachim Heberle to focus on vibrational spectroscopy. As a biospectroscopist, my research includes both chemical and physical approaches and is motivated by biological questions. I am married and have two hilarious children.

CV as PDF

I develop and apply spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques to probe proteins under biologically relevant conditions. My key interests involve gas-processing metalloenzymes like hydrogenases, CO- and formate dehydrogenases, nitrogenases, as well as cytochrome-c oxidase and photosystem II. I try to understand the catalytic mechanisms of H2, O2, and CO/CO2 turnover as well as in vivo cofactor synthesis.

Cartoon Modell der Eisen-Hydrogenase "CpI" aus Clostridium acetobutylicum (3C8Y). Der Fluss der Elektronen ist durch die roten Pfeile angezeigt, Protonen und Wasserstoff interagieren mit dem Protein wie durch die blauen Pfeile indiziert. Die Reaktion läuft unter natürlichen Bedingungen in beide Richtungen ab.
