Life Science

Proteins, which perform all biological activities.

Summary

Proteins have a structure in which many amino acids are connected and folded in a complicated manner. As a result , their structures have remained unknown until recently.

Construction of a synchrotron radiation facility has allowed rapid advances in the understanding of protein structure. Defining structure of proteins is equal to observing function of protein. Which leads to growth understanding of disease expression mechanism and the development of designs for new medicine.
