Topics
Today, knowledge about
biological processes is
obtained from functional
experiments on a limited
number of biochemical
systems, and from a rapidly
increasing amount of
DNA sequence information,
generated in several
genome projects. To bridge
the widening gap between
rapidly increasing information
on genome sequences
and limited know ledge
on the function of gene
products, a quantitative
understanding of the 3Dstructure
of proteins, their

folding, and their interactions
with other molecules
is required. Such
understanding is the key
to develop innovative medi
cines, such as new antibiotics
and vaccines, as
well as drugs against
cancer and diseases of
the central nervous, immune,
and cardiovascular
systems. In this NCCR
specialists in experimental
struc tu re determination
by X-ray crystallography,
NMR spectroscopy
and electron microscopy
/ crystallo gra phy, in protein
biophysical chemistry,
modern molecular biology,
and computational biology
will meet the challenge to
link the ever increasing biological
data generated in the
genomics field with related
structural and functional
information. This NCCR is
currently in its third and
final funding period until
2013. The major assets resulting
from this project
will be secured longterm
through the foundation of a
center of structural biology
head-quartered in Zürich.
