Institute of Microbiology CAS - Nové Hrady (Laboratory of Structural Biology and Bioinformatics)
Mikrobiologický ústav AV ČR, v. v. i. - pracoviště Nové Hrady
The laboratory conducts research in structural and systems biology at the level of molecules, cells, tissues and the whole organism. The research combines a variety of methods ranging from computational and spectroscopic to molecular biological, biochemical with protein crystallography. The laboratory focuses on molecular systems biology, the relationship between protein structure and function, dynamic changes associated with functional processes at the protein level, the interaction of cofactors and subunits in protein complexes, and the study of ion and biomolecule passage across the cell membrane. The castle grounds also include an extensive congress centre.
