Research

Research in the Department of Structural Biology emphasizes structural problems related to biological molecules and a variety of biophysical methodologies. Experimental methods used are X-ray crystallography, electron crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and computational analysis.

Our research relies heavily on the powerful instruments located at the SSRL - Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory - one of only five centers supplying synchrotron radiation X-rays in the United States.
