structure biology summary
Structural biology is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the study of the three-dimensional forms of biological macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. It includes techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy to unravel the structure at the atomic level. By gaining insight into these structures, researchers can understand the functions of biomolecules and apply them in various areas such as drug development and biotechnology.
