Welcome to ISB-2/3: Structural Biology

The investigation of structure, function and molecular mechanisms of biologically and medically important proteins is the main goal of ISB-2/3. In particular protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions as well as intermediate states in working cycles of proteins are studied by a variety of biophysical methods: X-ray crystallography, fluid and solid state NMR, fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. Our special interest is focused on basic processes in living cells and on the exploration of the molecular basis of diseases. In addition, novel approaches to diagnosis and therapy of diseases like Alzheimer, AIDS or SARS are investigated.
