The Macromolecular Structure and Function C [MSFC] Study Section reviews applications concerned with the structural biology of proteins and nucleic acids in macromolecular assemblies, involving a broad range of biochemical and biophysical approaches to elucidate molecular interactions. Emphasis is on the application of atomic- and molecular-level information to understand biological function. Specific areas covered by MSFC:

• Protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions, small molecule interactions with proteins and nucleic acids, and mechanisms of allostery.
• Protein interaction networks and signal transduction.
• Molecular motors, macromolecular machines, and systems driven by energy-dependent conformational changes including ATPases.
• Biophysical studies of muscle structure and function.
• Single molecule investigations.
