Neutrons in structural biology.

Neutrons in Biology

Investigation of Large-scale Biological Structures using Neutrons" (Dick Wettenhall, U. of Melbourne). There were also talks from prominent NMR practitioners and X-ray protein crystallographers, with substantial discussion about how the various methods might fit together in the future. Significant progress was made on defining Australia's needs, which include a strong push to use SANS and refle...

Structural biology

doesn't know which Academy member is handling the paper unless it is accepted. To make room for the extra papers to be submitted via track II, PNAS has reduced the number of papers a member is allowed to communicate to the journal annually from six to four. Does the new system work? Those who have tried it say that there are many frustrating teething problems. Apparently one problem is that the...

Structural biology and cancer

The techniques of structural biology currently play an important role in the development of novel therapeutic agents including cancer chemotherapies. X-ray crystallography has proved to be a particularly powerful tool for both the discovery of novel compounds and their subsequent development. In this review of the literature, the steps involved in the determination of a crystal structure will b...

Structural Biology of Glycoproteins

Structural Biology Software Systems

Advances in our understanding of macromolecular structure come from experimental methods, such as X-ray crystallography, and also computational analysis of the growing number of atomic models obtained from such experiments. The later analyses have made it possible to develop powerful tools for structure prediction and optimization in the absence of experimental data. In recent years, a synergy ...
