Acknowledgements
First and foremost, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to
Prof. Dr. Horst Kessler.
I deeply appreciate his continuous support over the whole period with all its ups and downs. His encouragement to keep on going and reinforce strength when the first double labelled protein sample went down the drain. For the excellent working conditions with first-rate spectrometers. For giving me the opportunity to present my work at various international conferences and meetings. And finally for some wonderful hiking tours with the group, ourAK-Fahrten, in the Italian Alps.
I would also like to express my gratitude toProf. Dr. Karlheinz Altendorffrom theUniversityofOsnabr¨uckforthepossibilitytogaininsightsintothefasci-nating Kdp system and for his support and vivid interest in our cooperation.
This is where I also want to thankDr. Marc BramkampandBrigitte Herkenhoff-Hesselmann-itewrohpnimginhsfrrukcofbr¨uOsnatyofersivinUehtmorf tein samples in ridiculously high concentrations and purities for the NMR investigations and for their introduction into biochemistry during my short stay at the Microbiology Department. And Marc in special for many exten-sive and informative discussions about the Kdp system.
I am very thankful toDr. Murray Colesfor the wonderful cooperation in the completion of the KdpBN project and for proof-reading parts of the manuscript.
I would like to acknowledge the excellent work of our administratorsDr. Rainer HaeßnerandAlex Frenzel, who always took a great effort to keep spec-trometers and computers running.
I would like to thank FrauE. Bruckmaier, FrauM. Machuleand FrauB. Diaw for their professional work in the office and prompt information when it
ii
was time to prolong the contract of employment.
Among my colleagues who all contributed to the special atmosphere of our group I would like to emphasise those from the 32 304 laboratory. Merci `aDr. Vincent Truffaultpour m’introduire dans les premier pas de l’RMN. Danke anMichael John,Markus HellerundJochen Klagesfu¨ r die Diskussionen im Labor und am Spektrometer, die Zusammenarbeit und das angenehme Arbeitsklima.
I would also like to thankGustav(aka Dr. Gerd Gemmecker) for generously distributing measurement time at the spectrometers when time was press-ing and for some amusing interruptions of the daily laboratory business.
Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge those who contributed in the completion of the written work: Kai Tetzlafffor the competent aid in setting up the computer and for his per-suasiveness that LATEX was the right program to choose. Dr. Guy Deutscherfor proof-reading large parts of the manuscript. And not to forget my friends who were not cross that I stayed absent quite often during the final stage of this work.
Finally, I want to thank my family to whom this work is dedicated and who have a considerable part in the completion of this work. I will always be grateful for their support during my studies, their faith and confidence that I would take the right decision and their help and encouragement when science was not going the way it ought to.
