Abstract

I would like to give many thanks to a number of people, who all in their own way contributed to the making of this thesis. First of all I am very grateful to Prof.Markus Münzenberg for his willingness to take over the position of the primary referee for my dissertation and all his help, and Prof. Dr. Jürgen Troe for taking over the position of the second referee. Additionally I want to thank Prof. Troe for enabling me to perform my PhD work at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry.A particular thank you is addressed to Inge Dreger and Martin Fechner for the administrative and technical support. Support by the Max-Planck-Society and the SFB755 is gratefully acknowledged.Gratitude also goes to my colleagues Wilson Quevedo, Jörg Hallman and Gerhard Busse, who not only supported my work by constructive discussion but also created a nice working atmosphere. My supervisor Dr. Simone Techert gets the final big thank you, not only for accepting me into her group at MPI but also for her endless patience, optimism and knowledge. Thank you!
