Form Determines Function: Insights from Structural Biology

A protein’s function directly links to its three-dimensional structure, but revealing this structure can be quite challenging. Researchers now choose from several methodologies to visualize the macromolecular structure of a protein or an organelle. While each has its limitations, researchers are continuously improving these technologies to increase their resolution and applicability.
