The Structural Biology faculty focuses on the determination of macromolecular structures utilizing the techniques of x-ray crystallography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. With the explosion of knowledge related to genome sequencing programs, it has become ever more important to understand at atomic resolution how macromolecules function and interact within biological systems.
Specific areas of focus within the Department presently include x-ray crystallography of enzymes, proteins, multi-protein complexes and DNA-protein complexes.
