Molecular Structural Biology
Combating infectious diseases depends critically on a deep understanding of the underlying molecular processes. Structural biology plays a crucial role in advancing biomedicine by providing valuable insights into the structure, function, and interactions of biological macromolecules at the atomic and molecular level. It combines state-of-the-art techniques such as X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) as well as advanced computer-based structure prediction methods to elucidate and analyze the three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Thus structural biology plays a critical role in infection research by providing a precise view on virulence factors, host-pathogen interactions, and the mechanisms of pathogenesis and host defense, paving the way towards the development of new anti-infectives and vaccines.
