General description: The private non-profit Max Planck Society comprises around 80 research institutes that perform basic research in the interest of the general public in the natural sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. Research at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried currently focuses on the relationship between the structure and the activity of biological systems with various degrees of complexity, i.e. nucleic acids as carriers of the genetic information and proteins or peptides as structural components of the three-dimensional organization of the cell. Their folding and function is likewise the subject of the research such as cell organelles, membranes, viruses, oncogenes, archaebacteria, higher cells and whole organisms.
