Welcome to the Structural Biology Facility!
We specialise in the research into the structures of proteins and other large macromolecules with a strong focus on the technique of X-ray crystallography.
We are located in the Biosciences North D26 building.
About us and contact details
We host a number of instruments to assist in determining the structural features of macro-molecules.
Our facility has three key research areas:
Robotic Crystallography Suite |
allowing the high through-put preparation of crystallization trays using a number of liquid handlers and robotic imaging. |
X-ray diffraction |
for the study of single macromolecular crystals. |
Biophysical Analysis |
including protein folding, secondary structure, chemical stability. |
So, if you are new to structural biology and want to find out about your favourite protein or are a seasoned X-ray protein crystallographer we have infrastructure that could help. Please contact us for a tour (see About us for details on using the facility).
