X-ray crystallography allows visualization of macromolecules with the clarity of resolving individual atoms. High-resolution structures are essential for understanding the physical and chemical basis of how macromolecules achieve their biological functions and facilitate drug developments that target the macromolecules. A number of faculty members in CPSB apply x-ray crystallography in their labs, and these activities are supported by a core x-ray facility in BCM as well as access to synchrotron beamlines in National Laboratories located near Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco.
