Structural Bioinformatics and Structural Molecular Biology

Structural Bioinformatics and Structural Molecular Biology are interdisciplinary fields dealing with the study of the structure and other properties of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Structural Bioinformatics combines techniques from molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics to study the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules at the atomic level. Structural Molecular Biology unites principles of biochemistry, genetics and cell biology with the techniques of structural biology to analyze the 3-D structure of molecules and its effect on their function. With the help of Structural Bioinformatics and Structural Molecular Biology, researchers can gain new insights into gene regulation and disease behavior, develop new drugs and diagnose diseases faster and more accurately. These fields are at the forefront of modern biology, and the research conducted in these fields promises to accelerate the advancement of medical science.
