MSc. Linda Elisabeth LøvdokAcknowledgements
First and foremost I must express my thanks to Prof. Dr. Bernd Bukau for
kindly supervising this thesis.
Also, my warmest gratitude goes to Dr. Victor Sourjik for his guidance, men-
toring and support during the past five years.
This work could not have been written without the fruitful collaboration with
Dr. Markus Kollmann and Kajetan Bentele at the Institute for Theoretical
Biology, Humboldt University Berlin, and Nikita Vladimirov at the Interdisci-
plinary Center for Scientific Computing, University of Heidelberg. Thanks to
Julia Rausenberger at the University of Freiburg for the helpful discussions.
For help with cloning, the microscope, computer problems, data analysis and
creating a wonderful working environment, cakes and shashlik, I would like
to thank all the former and present colleagues in the lab; Anette Müller,
Louisa Liberman, Sebastian Thiem, David Kentner, Gabriele Schwarz, Sonja
Schulmeister, Silke Neumann, Hui Li, Olga Oleksiuk, Maren Emmerich, Su-
sanneWölfelschneider, ErikSommer, MohitKumar, TanjaErhard, YilingYang,
Gabriele Malengo, Vladimir Jakovljevic, Barbara di Ventura, Francesca Chio-
varo and Stefan Viel.
Special thanks go to Marianne Uteng, Katharina Paulsen , Aksana Labokha,
Steffen Preissler and the bikers Jakob Tschäpe, Marco Pfeifer, Tomas Grübl and
Florentine Wahl for help with flat tires, for their patience uphill and the fun
outside of the lab.
Og så vil jeg takke jentene hjemme som ikke har glemt meg selv om jeg har
vært borte så lenge.
Jeg vil takke min søster, Nina, og mine fantastiske foreldre for at de alltid
har vært der for meg med oppmuntringer og støtte, og for at de har vært så
tålmodige og forståelsesfulle gjennom mine lange studier.
Zum Schluss möchte ich mich bei meinem Liebsten, Mark, ganz herzlich be-
danken. Ohne deine Unterstützung wäre ich ganz verloren. Ich habe so ein
Glück gehabt, dass ich dich kennengelernt habe. Danke, dass du immer für
mich da bist.
