Arne Möller

Prof. Dr. Arne Möller is a faculty member in the Department of Structural Biology at Osnabrück University, where he leads a research group focused on the structural and functional analysis of membrane proteins and macromolecular complexes. His work primarily employs cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to investigate molecular mechanisms central to cellular function.

Research Interests: His research spans the dynamics of membrane proteins, structure determination of multimeric protein complexes, synergies between lipids and proteins, and method development in cryo-EM. Model systems include various membrane proteins, reconstituted membranes, and isolated protein complexes.

Publication Trends: His recent publications in Nature highlight high-impact work in structural biology, particularly in elucidating conformational dynamics of ABC transporters, autoregulation of lipid flippases, and the architecture of the human MHC-I peptide-loading complex. These studies reflect a strong emphasis on membrane protein function and structural mechanisms using advanced cryo-EM techniques.
