Acknowledgement
In September 2013, I started my PhD in Groningen after a long jour-ney from the northeast of China. After almost five years here, I fall in love this peaceful place so much and regard it as my hometown.
First, I want to thank my supervisor Bert Poolman. My background is food science and technology and you give me the opportunity to work in a biophysical lab. I admire your calmness, effectiveness and hard work. It was a pleasure to work with you. I would also like to send my sincere appreciation to the members of the reading com-mittee, Prof. G. Maglia Prof. M. Heinemann and Prof. P. Swain for critically reading my thesis and providing valuable suggestions and corrections.
Many many many great thanks to my co-supervisor Dr. Arnold Boersma. You spent so great efforts on my PhD work and help me quite a lot on planning experiments, writing, and others stuff. With-out your assistance, I cannot finish my PhD.
Furthermore, I want to thanks people in Room 5116.0111. Adi, Ar-nold, Christopher, Jonas, Matteo, Sara, and Wojtek. Thanks for your discussion on scientific work and the smart jokes. You guys make the 5116.0111 a joyful place. I am really enjoy working in the office.
A special thanks to my paranimfen Yue Li and Rianne Bartelds. You two are very important to me. Thanks for supporting me during my writing and for helping with the arrangements for my defense.
I also want to Floris, Fangfang, and others who did simulations for my research. Thanks for your hard working and I do learn quite a lot of simulations from you. Hope further cooperation in the future.
The Membrane Enzymology group is such a nice group with nice people and enjoyable environments. I learned quite a lot from peo-ples in this group and big thanks for sharing your knowledge. 同时也感谢在格村所遇到的所有朋友。感谢平时一起吃吃喝喝的伙 伴，感谢一起拍照的小伙伴，于小村中与你们相识，使得生活多了一 分色彩。感谢欢乐足球的伙伴们，每个周日下午，我们可以在草地上 驰骋，风里雨里，足球场上等你。无足球，不兄弟。在此祝愿你们以 后一切顺利，心想事成。愿以后可以继续踢球喝酒。 感谢母校吉林大学的老师和同学。感谢我的硕士导师刘静波教授，山 之苍苍，水之茫茫， 先生之德，山高水长。感谢吉林大学营养与功 能食品实验室的所有人。 谢谢你们，祝你们以后一切顺利。 感谢我的父母和家人。少小离家，与父母更是聚少离多，然二老却一 如既往的给予我支持。祝愿你们以后每一天都开心快乐。 这一路走来，遇到了许多人，难以一一感谢，在此祝你们一切顺利。 2018年 于格罗宁根
