[[Structural Biology]] is a branch of molecular biology & biochemistry concerned with the the molecular structure of biological macromolecules like proteins and [[Nucleic Acids|nucleic acids]]. It focuses on determining the structure of macromolecules to better understand their function and how to manipulate these macromolecules to develop therapeutics and broaden our understanding of biological phenomena. | [[Structural Biology]] is a branch of molecular biology & biochemistry concerned with the the molecular structure of biological macromolecules like proteins and [[Nucleic Acids|nucleic acids]].
