Institute of Structural Biology

The Institute of Structural Biology is a research center dedicated to studying the detailed 3D structures of biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. By understanding these structures at the atomic level, scientists can uncover how these molecules function, interact, and contribute to health and disease. This knowledge helps in the development of new medicines and therapies. The institute uses advanced techniques like X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy to visualize molecules with high precision, providing crucial insights into biological processes and supporting innovations in bioscience and medicine.
