SEEING THE CELL NUCLEUS IN 3-D
A new microscopic program called daVinci is helping researchers better understand how breast cancer develops.
  THE MACHINERY OF LIFE
  Scientists are using Berkeley Lab's state-of-the-art imaging resources to gain new insight into the structure and function of proteins, including those involved in cystic fibrosis.
  THE CRYSTAL ROBOT
  Innovative robotics designed and built by Lab researchers will grow protein crystals for experimentation at a rate once only dreamed of.
  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.
  FORM FOLLOWS SEQUENCE
  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.
  CIRCUITS OF A CELL
  Scientists investigate the biochemical "circuitry" of cells.
