I would like to thank him for all his support during the years, that made life in the group so comfortable, as well as his ambitions to show us the world of chemistry outside the lab. Prof. Dr. Rainer Haag for being my second referee and for the support given by him and his group, especially Cathleen Schlesener and Maximilian Zieringer. My second supervisor Prof. Christopf Schalley for helpful discussions and supporting my work. All current and former members of the Hackenberger group for positive and encouraging debates and also for the good working atmosphere, which have turned the last years into great time. Special thanks go to Paul Majkut, který se stal mým dobrým kamarádem a se kterým jsme strávili mnoho hodin u jezera, vytvářejíce mosty mezi chemií a biochemií, My friend and lab colleagues Lukas Artner, Verena Börsch and Michaela Mühlberg for creating such a nice working environment in the lab that mades work fun, as well as the great times outside the lab. Katrin Wittig for taking away all bureaucratic affairs from me and always having a positive outlook. Volker Rohde, Gregor Müller, Sebastian Wieczorek, Aryaline Kamalakumar and Jan-Hinnerk Saathoff who have worked with me on this project during their Bachelor theses or internships. Dr. Christoph Weise and Dr. Jens Dernedde who both spent many days and nights rescuing the sinking ship with a lot of patience and faith. Dr. Andreas Schäfer, Dr. Peter Schmieder and Brigitte Schlegel from the NMR-facilities of the Freie Universität and the FMP, for their helpful discussions and support with all the NMR desires. Dr. Andreas Springer and Fabian Klautzsch for all the advice and knowledge towards ESI-TOF use and for solving many unexpected problems. RiNA GmbH for supporting me with material and knowledge concerning unnatural proteins and biochemical experiments – performed by Paul Majkut. Dagmar Krause for all the HPLC purifications and LCMS analysis she did for me. Dr. Siegfried Wilkening for taking his time to proofread this thesis. I would like to express my greatest gratitude to Dr. Ina Wilkening, my friend, the most honest, altruistic and helpful person I have ever met, who supported me very much in every step throughout this work.
