Stuttgart, den 20.07.2011 Elena Martínez Benítez 2 Acknowledgments I am grateful to Prof. Dr. Dieter H. Wolf for the fun I had working in his group (except for the last few months, that I had a horrible time trying to write this thesis). Thanks to the UbiRegulators Network for giving me the possibility to travel and attend many courses and conferences. To all members of the IBC between February 2007 and September 2011, thank you. It has been awesome to share time with you not only for the science, but also for the friendships we have build. To my friends that highly motivated me by asking: so, are you almost done now? Or, are you stressed?
