Structural Biology(from wikipedia)
Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules, especially proteins and nucleic acids, how they acquire the structures they have, and how alterations in their structures affect their function. This subject is of great interest to biologists because macromolecules carry out most of the functions of cells, and because it is only by coiling into specific three-dimensional shapes that they are able to perform these functions. This architecture, the "tertiary structure" of molecules, depends in a complicated way on the molecules' basic composition, or "primary structures."

Cells● The cell is the basic structural, functional and
biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently, and are often called the "building blocks of life".

Biomolecules are cellular building blocks
● Molecule: collection of atoms covalently bound together.
● Four classes of biomolecules

Experimental Methods
● X-ray crystallography– Diffraction of x-rays from crystals of protein and/or DNA
–
– See the Protein Data Bank
● Separation Techniques– Gel mobility:
● Depends on “holes” in gel and on shape + charge of molecule
● Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy– Can't see it but can feel it.

Modeling Methods
● Quantum Mechanics– Solves the Schrodinger Equation and thus gives information
about the electronic structure
–
● Molecular Mechanics– Solves Newtons equations using approximate models for the
ineractions between molecules. This is classical mechanics.● Each atom is a ball with radius (occupies space)● Atoms connected by springs● Atoms have “partial charge” even for neutral atom
