Structural Biology Service
Structural biology is a core discipline that studies the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules and their relationships with function. By elucidating the spatial conformations of proteins, nucleic acids, and their complexes, researchers can gain a deep understanding of catalytic mechanisms, signal transduction processes, molecular recognition features, and their roles in disease development. The structures of biological macromolecules not only determine their functions but also provide important theoretical foundations for drug development, disease treatment, and bioengineering.
With the continuous advancement of analytical instruments and techniques, X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, cryogenic electron microscopy, and various spectroscopic and chromatographic methods have become essential tools for analyzing molecular structures and dynamics. These methods can reveal the spatial structures and interaction patterns of biomolecules at atomic or near-atomic resolution, providing precise structural evidence for understanding biological processes.
