The goal is to make molecules that can, in response to some trigger, change their shape in a way that results in a mechanical function. The major challenges facing researchers in this field are to ...

Our research in the Laboratory of Structural Biology aims at understanding the structure and function of biological macromolecules and their complexes, such as those involved in cellular cargo ...

They are the workhorse macromolecules of the cell and are as diverse as the functions they serve. Proteins can be big or small, mostly hydrophilic or mostly hydrophobic, exist alone or as part of ...
