Biochemical Pathways & Function
ASU students are revolutionizing structural biology using femtosecond nanocrystallography, defining the roles of enzymes and protein complexes with biomolecules that regulate transcription, translation, post-translational modification and energy and proton flow at the molecular and cellular levels, and study the molecular basis of biology in geology and even astronomy.
