Applied Crystallography

Structure determination

The three-dimensional structure formed by the Biomolecules is important to study because of the function it does. These structures may range in several scales from individual atoms to entire protein subunit. These macromolecules may decompose into primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. The scaffolding, fundamental relation between hydrogen bonding may be studied in detail by Structural biologists with the help of techniques namely Cryo-Electron microscopy, X-ray Crystallography etc.,
