Biophysics and Structural Biology

Biophysics and structural biology are branches of science that explore the physical and chemical properties of biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. By utilizing a range of experimental and computational approaches, biophysicists and structural biologists gain insight into the inner workings of biological systems. The findings have wide-reaching implications for many areas of research, including drug design, materials science and nanotechnology. Through biophysics and structural biology, we are able to understand the structure-function relationship of biological molecules, and use that information to advance our knowledge of life and health on Earth.
