DESCRIPTION

The 3D structure determination of proteins using X-ray Diffraction is one of the core services of our Infrastructure. Knowledge of the 3D structure of macromolecular targets of pharmaceutical and biotechnological interest and their complexes with small molecules or other proteins may reveal the structure-function relationships that dictate their mechanism of action. Proteins participate in a plethora of metabolic pathways and controlling their interactions with their counterparts or bioactive compounds may allow the development of therapeutic interventions with significant socioeconomic impact.

Potential users: Scientists working in academic/research organizations, health sciences, hospitals, industries (pharmaceutical, food, agricultural, biofuel, paper, chemical) and SMEs.
