"biological macromolecules" refers to large molecules that are found in living organisms. These molecules play crucial roles in various biological processes, such as storing genetic information, providing structural support, and helping with cellular communication. Examples of
biological macromolecules include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and lipids.
Full definition
Scientists have shifted from studying single molecules to investigating large complexes of
interacting biological macromolecules involved in processes such as metabolic pathways, gene expression, and development of disease.
This property means that these liquid crystals hold potential for biomedical applications, where their changing internal patterns could signal the presence of specific proteins or
other biological macromolecules.
He is investigating both how the genome is packaged, protected, sequestered, and made accessible within the cell nucleus, as well as how changes in DNA sequence relates changes in structure and function of
encoded biological macromolecules.
A scan of recent studies in the journals «Carbohydrate Polymers» and «International Journal
of Biological Macromolecules» show that many more new technologies are in the works.
Seeing hydrogen is critical to studying protonation states of an enzyme and ligand — a molecule that binds to
a biological macromolecule — and to analyzing the architecture of hydrogen - bonding networks.
The Institute for Structural Biology (STB) investigates the spatial structures of
biological macromolecules, their molecular interactions and dynamics using integrated structural biology by combining X-ray crystallography, NMR - spectroscopy and other methods.
It was after discussions with Max Perutz during his time in Cambridge that Doty made the critical decision to apply his unique knowledge of polymer science to the investigation of
biological macromolecules.
International journal of
biological macromolecules.
Structural refinements of proteins have become essential in order to understand the function of
these biological macromolecules.
Structural Biology Group The group consists of two laboratories focused on the use of macromolecular crystallography (Barry Stoddard and Roland Strong) to determine the three - dimensional structures of
biological macromolecules.
ESRF provides not only cutting edge infrastructure, but also excellent scientific support for X-ray data collection of
biological macromolecules.
