ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation to Prof. Dr. Dieter Enders for giving
me the great opportunity to carry out my PhD in his research group and for his
encouragement throughout the course of this work.

I am grateful to Dr. J. Runsink for the NOE-measurements, and to Kamila Hennig,
Sabine Drehsen and Desiree Gilliam for measurement of chromatography, analytic
and preparative HPLC.

I would like to thank my labmates Dr. Michael Backes and Alexander Jonas for their
suggestions, their invaluable help and the kind and great ambiance in the lab.
I also would like to thank all members of AK-Enders for their kindness and generous
assistance throughout this work which made my time in Germany a great and rich
experience. And last, but not least, I would like to thank Benjamin Katrinyok for his
engaged participation in this project during his 6 weeks placement in the lab.

Special thanks go to Dr. Marie-Isabelle Lannou, Dr. Sylvie Dhulut, Dr. Sharon Chow
and Dr. Marianna Vrettou for their patience, their generous help for the correction of
my publication and this manuscript and for the good time in Aachen.

I gratefully acknowledge Dr. Wolfgang Bettray and Karin Risse for their administrative
assistance of my life in Germany.

I am especially grateful to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Graduiertenkolleg
440, SFB 380) for financial support which enabled me to undertake this study.

Finally, I thank my parents and all my friends for their loving care and unquestioning
support.

THANKS !!!
