PICTURING
PROTEINS |
|
Electron
microscopy and spectroscopy techniques are making it possible for
scientists to create 3-D images of protein complexes that are unsuitable
for x-ray crystallography. |

|
Powerful
new computational tools, such as those available at nersc, are playing
a key role in deciphering the molecular dynamics of proteins, including
creating "movies" of proteins in motion. |
