First and foremost, I would like to thank God for blessing me with this
opportunitytopursuemyPhDintheGermany.IthankHimforsupportingmethrough
thebestandtoughestyearsofmylife.

Next,IamextremelythankfulandgratefultomysupervisorProf.Dr.Roland
Seifert for his invaluable guidance, support and for sharing his expertise and
researchinsight.Prof.Seiferttaughtmetheaccuracyintheworkandseekingforthe
excellence.Thanksforbelievinginmeduringthetoughesttimesandboostingmy
morale to do better every day. Thanks for helping me develop my presentation,
writingandresearchskills.IamdeeplygratefultohimandIwouldn’thavebeenable
to fulfil this dream without his constant encouragement and support. I hope that I
havethechancetocontinueworkwithhimforever.

I am deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. Frieder Kees for helping me initiating the
project,forhelpingmeintheproteinpurificationandhelpingmerealizewhatIwas
