X-ray-based Crystal Structural Biology

X-ray-based Crystal Structural Biology

The measurement of the complete three-dimensional structure of a protein and its complex assembly is the scientific basis for studying the relationship between molecular structure and function in life activities, as well as for revealing the physical and chemical nature of life phenomena. X-ray diffraction of protein and its complex crystals is one of the main methods used to study the three-dimensional fine structure of biological macromolecules.

Combining with other disciplines, and especially driven by fields like structural genomics, protein crystallography extends from analyzing the simple three-dimensional structure of proteins to studying the structures of various biological macromolecules and complexes, focusing on the relationship between structure and function. In pharmaceutical R&D, protein crystallographic structure is widely and significantly used in structure-based novel drug design.
