Understanding Structural Biology, Its Applications and Creating a Molecular Model

In this article, we consider what structural biology tells us and the techniques used to investigate it, the role of computation and how techniques can be used together to answer questions in a range of application areas.

Mass Spectrometry in Structural Biology

Structural biology combines molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics. It is concerned with the study of the molecular structure and dynamics of biomolecules, information that can be extremely useful in fields such as medicine. Download this infographic to learn more about the structural biology research field and the use of cross-linking mass spectrometry in this space.

Key Techniques in Structural Biology, Their Strengths and Limitations

Structural biology uses a variety of techniques to determine the 3D structures of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes. In this article, we consider the key techniques, their role in structural biology, strengths and limitations.

An Introduction to Post-Translational Modifications

Post-translational modifications are changes that are made to proteins after synthesis, typically mediated by enzymes. In this article, we review five examples of some of the most-studied post-translational modifications.

Structural Biology

This infographic explores what structural biologists look at, the techniques used to solve macromolecular structures and the information that structural biology can tell us.

Structural Biology – News and Features

Molecular Glue Degraders Could Target “Undruggable” Proteins

Cells contain molecular machinery that targets and disposes of unwanted proteins. Scientists would like to hijack this process to control proteins involved in cancer and other diseases, using a type of molecule called a molecular glue degrader.

3D Genome Folding Helps Preserve Identity When Cells Divide

A new MIT study proposes a theoretical model that helps explain how cellular memory is passed from generation to generation when cells divide.

Advances in CHO Cell Line Development for Biotherapeutics

A diverse array of biological medicines are now used to prevent and treat a wide range of illnesses. This article will discuss the development of cell lines in biopharma and will touch on key considerations, such as future manufacturability.

Removing Stress Gene in Insulin-Producing Cells Protects Against Type 1 Diabetes

Removing a gene that manages stress within insulin-producing beta cells draws helpful attention from the immune system, protecting mice predisposed to Type 1 diabetes from developing the disease.

What Happens in a Virus Particle When the Temperature Is Raised?

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised.

Unraveling the Secrets of Spider Silk

Spider silk is a remarkable material, offering high tensile strength and natural elasticity. In this article, learn how a group of scientists are currently exploring its untapped potential in medical and materials science.
