Structural biology at the center of COVID-19 scientific efforts
Synergy between X-ray crystallography, cryoelectron microscopy and computational methods has led to critical advances indispensable to developing treatments for infection and vaccines for prevention.
Research
Accurate identification of metals in proteins.
Many proteins contain metals. Accurate identification of these is a prerequisite to understanding the biological mechanism and curing disease. An international team co-led by Dr. Snell developed a sensitive method to accurately determine both the metal type and position using very small volumes of protein.
Research
Helping others crystallize proteins.
Drs. Sarah Bowman & Miranda Lynch and intern Max Dudek have their work featured on the cover of the journal.
