Themes
Structural biology of proteins and subcellular structures
For decades, determining macromolecular structures has been pivotal in deciphering the complexities of biology and cell signaling. The evolution of computational methods and imaging has transformed our study of challenging macromolecules and cellular architectures. This theme will spotlight how structural biologists use complementary approaches to unveil insights into the intricacies of diverse and dynamic cellular systems that govern life itself.
