Technology for Structural BiologyON THIS PAGE: SEE ALSO: Twelve Biomedical Technology Research Centers (BTRCs) are supported in the broad area of Structural Biology to develop technologies for studying the structures of biomolecules in the size range of peptides to cells using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), synchrotron radiation and multiple types of microscopy. A combined goal of Structural Biology and Systems Biology areas is to understand the functions and mechanisms of important biological molecules in their various forms and in the different places they show up in the cell throughout the cell cycle. The National Center for Research Resources and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences convened a working group on April 27–28, 2008, to advise us on the capabilities of and capacity needed for life sciences research at the National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II). NSLS-II is a new Department of Energy synchrotron facility to be built over the next several years, replacing the current NSLS, and is scheduled to become fully operational in 2015. The panel has issued a report.
