Structural Biology and Bioinformatics


Structural biology is the study of the molecular structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, particularly proteins and nucleic acids and how alterations in their structures affect their function. Structural biology incorporates the principles of molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics. A third approach that structural biologists take to understanding structure is bioinformatics to look for patterns among the diverse sequences that give rise to particular shapes.
