@sflorg #Structuralbiology is an important #basicresearch direction that aims to gain information about dynamics and interactions of #biological molecules. This research relies on high-tech, including #cryoelectronmicroscopy (EM), nuclear magnetic resonance (#NMR) spectroscopy, and X-ray #crystallography. Goals are a better understanding and e.g. the creation of #molecular #dynamicssimulations.

Structural Biology

How do molecular machines work, interact and harmonize their activities to give rise to a fully functional cell? How are these processes regulated and how are they compromised in human disease? The Structural Biology Research Centre aims at answering these questions by gaining precise knowledge of the structure of macromolecules and macromolecular complexes, which is essential to understand how they function.

A #Molecular #Cloud is a vast, cold, and dense region of gas and dust in the interstellar medium where molecules can form, primarily molecular hydrogen.

Often referred to as "stellar nurseries," these clouds are the primary birthplaces of stars and planetary systems.

💊 What makes a good RNA-targeting drug?

Molecular biologist at the UG Danny Incarnato shows that small molecules that bind to RNA only rarely affect its function, while molecules that change RNA structure have a bigger effect.

His team's findings were published in Nature Communications.
