Predicting the 3D structure of biomolecules

Without biomolecules no life: In each cell of an organism, legions of minute machines are working to e.g. transport oxygen, utilize nutrients, or repair damage of genetic information. Functioning of the molecular tool kit of the cell is determined by the spatial structure of these mini machines. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed an effective method to predict the 3-dimensional structure of biomolecules by analyzing experimental data that can be obtained easily
