Structural biology incorporates techniques and principles of molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics as a means of elucidating the molecular structure and dynamics of biologically relevant molecules. Recent progress in instrumentation has endorsed a new boost in structural biology as complex biological molecules can now be analyzed with unprecedented ease and efficiency. The three-dimensional structure of proteins and protein complexes provide great insights into the laws of life activities and mechanism of diseases, and thereby allowing rational design of novel diagnostic and therapeutic agents.
