Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: About 100 years ago, the field of structural biology was born, led by James B. Sumner who recognized that enzymes were molecules with specific functions. In its contemporary form structural biology is used to interpret and understand molecular and cellular function, to design drugs, and to advance biotechnology in general.
