From structures to systems: A hierachical approach to understanding sub-cellular components. This program will dramatically extend the range of biomolecular systems that can be modelled with near atomistic precision. It will provide a better understanding of the structure and function of proteins involved in the regulation of membrane fusion and fission as well as shedding light on the assembly of large-scale protein-protein and protein-membrane complexes in general. The work will help place Au ....From structures to systems: A hierachical approach to understanding sub-cellular components.

Summary
Small Angle Scattering Facility for the Materials and Biological Sciences. There are many benefits to the community from the application of modern technology for materials and protein characterisation, particularly one that is as broadly applicable as small angle scattering. For example, it can directly aid in the development of new materials for energy storage and generation, biomaterials for improved health and the process of design of drugs for many types of disease. This facility will ben ....Small Angle Scattering Facility for the Materials and Biological Sciences.
