Bernd Ludwig

Prof. Bernd Ludwig is a Professor (C3) of Biochemistry at the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Biocenter, Goethe University Frankfurt. He previously held positions at the Medical University of Lübeck (1983-1992) and the University of Basel (1978-1983). His research focuses on membrane proteins, particularly electron transport complexes in bacterial systems, exploring structure-function relationships in cytochrome complexes.

• Education: Diploma in Chemistry (1973), PhD in Biochemistry (1976) from Philipps University Marburg
• Postdoc at University of Oregon (1976-1978) and Habilitation in Biochemistry (1983) from University of Basel

Research emphasizes redox and energy transduction mechanisms in respiratory chain complexes using structural biology and genetic approaches. Key work includes studies on the Paracoccus denitrificans aa3 cytochrome c oxidase, elucidating its three-dimensional structure and membrane integration.

No scientific awards, grants, or advising records are explicitly detailed in the provided text. His lab is part of the Biocenter at Goethe University, focusing on molecular genetics and bioenergetic systems.
