Structural Biology
ASU students are revolutionizing structural biology using femtosecond nanocrystallography, characterizing the structural properties of proteins in spider silk using high field NMR, using X-Ray crystallography to characterize critical protein/RNA and protein/carbohydrate complexes responsible for disease, connecting protein structure to biological function, and combining NMR, computation and biophysics to describe the dynamical structure of membrane-bound proteins in action.
