About BioNMR Group

The Bio-NMR group, headed by Roland Riek, is part of the Institute of Molecular Physical Science at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) is one of the principal experimental techniques in structural biology to determine atomic resolution structures and to investigate dynamic features and intermolecular interactions of biological macromolecules. Using NMR as a major tool, the objective of the research in our group is to understand the conformational switches of proteins associated with amyloid diseases and trans-membrane signaling.
