Molecular Structure and Mechanism

Molecular Structure

Understanding the molecular structures and mechanisms of proteins provides a valuable insight into biological processes. Using molecular biology, genomic, proteomic and crystallography techniques, researchers in the School of Life Sciences are pursuing multiple lines of investigation.
