Ban chose to work on one of the most difficult
problems in structural biology: imaging the active site of the ribosome, a site within the large subunit of the ribosome where the bonding of individual amino acids into a protein chain is catalyzed.
This trans - institutional initiative applies computational
techniques in structural biology to answer mechanistic questions directly impacting the care of individual patients.
We're still fully focused on neurobiology and imaging but we've hired
people in structural biology, particularly in cryo - EM [electron microscopy].
«Far too many pieces of code critical to the reproduction, peer - review and extension of scientific results never see the light of day,» said Andrew Morin, a postdoctoral
fellow in the structural biology research and computing lab at Harvard University.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful computational
tool in structural biology, widely used for understanding conformational changes in proteins, and folding of peptides.

At Utah, she's been asked to do what she did during her time at Los Alamos: to bring together seemingly disparate disciplines, build large multi-institutional programs, and continue her
research in structural biology.
The standard methods used
in structural biology to achieve this assume that the macromolecule is present as a single crystal or in the form of individual molecules that are dissolved in water.
