Molecular Biology
Molecular machines and their assemblies range 10-100 nm in size and perform extremely complex but critical actions within the cell. Cryo-Electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) has now overcome many biophysical hurdles and finally become a major strategy in structural biology. Our research focus is driven by a diverse spectrum of challenging biological topics and to explore functional mechanism of molecular machines by achieving high resolution structures.
