Structural biology is the study of the three-dimensional shapes of biological molecules—primarily proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates—at atomic resolution. Because the physical structure of these molecules determines how they interact and function within a cell, structural biology is vital for understanding molecular mechanisms and designing new therapeutics. Core Concepts and Methodologies

: This modern approach combines multiple datasets (e.g., experimental and theoretical) to characterize massive, complex molecular systems. Standard Write-up Structure
