Macromolecular machines in 3D: The complex world of complexes
Research report (imported) 2012 - Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences
Summary
Tiny nano machines called macromolecular complexes participate in the most fundamental biological processes. The high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) structure of these complexes and their dynamic behavior can be studied by cryo electron microscopy. The molecular movies that can be obtained for these nano machines contribute tremendously to our understanding of molecular processes at a structural level.
