The Nynke Dekker group is a high-profile, internationally-oriented single-molecule biophysics team that studies the dynamics of DNA and RNA as well as their interaction with proteins, both with purified components and inside the living cell. The techniques used include magnetic and optical tweezers, optical microscopy, fluorescence detection, and nanofluidics and nanopores: these allow us to study single-molecule processes in real time. In addition to studying the biophysics of molecular and cellular processes, we're also involved in the development of new molecular biology and single-molecule tools

The spin part of the MoNOS group focuses on the development and application of novel electron paramagnetic resonance techniques. Higher microwave frequencies and new pulse techniques are being pioneered with the aim to enhance the sensitivity and resolution of the technique and to open up hitherto inaccessible quantum systems. Presently, the emphasis is on the study of the electronic structure of active metal sites in proteins, enzymes and bio-mimetic transition metal complexes and on the probing of the structure and dynamics of biosystems using spin labels.

Research in the lab is related to the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The nuclear pore is a remarkable transport machine situated in the nuclear envelope of eukaryotic cells, regulating the exchange of matter, energy and information between nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. Interestingly, the highly symmetric structure of the central frame work presents a major road block to assembling its three dimensional composition based on structure data of sub-complexes. Furthermore, a number of studies have lately implicated the nuclear pore in several disease pathways putting the ‘gate keeper’ function of the pore in a larger context.

The way how cells can reliably and fast react on the outside world is a fascinating puzzle which drives research in my group. Most of the communication of the cell with its environment is taking place at the cellular membrane. By novel technological tools developed in my group together with theoretical modeling we try to shed a bit of light into so-far unexplored fields of biological research

We are interested in the far-field optical detection and spectroscopy of individual molecules and nanoparticles. These nano-objects can be studied for themselves or can report on their nearby surroundings, for example in biological environments. We are currently working on gold nanoparticles (nanospheres, nanorods) and on single organic molecules at ambient conditions or at liquid-helium temperatures.

I am interested in quantum charge transport through (single) organic molecules, with a special attention for molecular switches. In parallel, I focus on an exciting type of microscopy, low energy electron microscopy. It is one of my goals to use the latter technique to image charge transport in 2D. Thus, I intend to connect both ny research interests.

×My research focuses on magnetism on the scale of individual atoms. Using low-temperature STM we can address single magnetic atoms deposited onto a metal surface and visualize their spin states through inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy. We can even move the atoms around so as to build artificial 'molecules' atom-by-atom, optimizing their magnetic properties for scientific and technological objectives.

In my group we mainly investigate the properties of conductors at the scale of single atoms and single molecules. It is fascinating that techniques such as STM and mechanically controllable break junctions (a technique developed in my group) permit attaching wires to a single atom, a single organic molecule, and building structures such as wires of single atoms. Electrical conductance at this scale is very different in many ways from conduction at macroscopic scales because it is dominated by quantum mechanics and because the current interacts with the mechanical degrees of freedom of the system.

Our main interest is to understand the morphological evolution of (polycrystalline) thin films, both during film growth (deposition) as well as during a post-deposition treatment or application, such as heating, applying stress, additional coating, or conducting a current.This naturally involves also experiments on single crystalline surfaces. General topics include atom deposition, grain boundary migration, surface stress, surface diffusion, equilibrium structures, and surface phase transitions.
