Track 14: Frontiers in Structural Biology

The main focus of a Structural Biology is protein structure determination and drug design. Protein plays a crucial role in physical body. Living things wouldn't exist without proteins. The proteins are usually involved altogether sorts of expressions of the living organism. Most of the proteins are evolved in providing structure to the cell while the others tend to bin and carry vital molecules during the body. Some proteins are involved in biochemical reactions within the body which are termed as enzymes. Others are involved in muscle contractions and immunity. Structure determination of proteins has always been a challenging filed. The complex areas within the field include viruses, pathogens, membrane proteins and signaling pathways. Novel progressions are being wiped out the arenas of Nano-patterning and multi-scale modelling of cell signaling proteins.
