Tilman Grune is member or chair of several European research activities including the the European COST network CM1001 on 'Nonenzymatic posttranslational protein modification'. The research is focused on the oxidative stress response of cells. The oxidative damage to proteins, the protection of proteins from oxidation and the fate of a protein if it is oxidized are major research topics. Therefore, various proteases and proteolytic systems for the ability to recognize and degrade oxidized proteins are investigated.
