The facility is essential for the research programs of investigators who are studying the relationship between macromolecular structure and function or who are using protein structure as the starting point for structure-based drug design. The Structural Biology Facility is a unique resource at Northwestern University that capitalizes on the extensive expertise of a large group of users and regular access to the synchrotron radiation X-ray source at the DND-CAT beamline at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratories. This resource also serves to nucleate the development of a local community with expertise in structural and computational biology.
