Description
The Structural Biology facility gathers a state-of-the-art equipement to study the 3D-structure of proteins or macromolecular assemblies to the corresponding genes.
It is noteworthy that the facility is also part of the larger French infrastructure for integrated structural biology called FRISBI, http://frisbi.eu, and which aimed at promoting technological transfer between industries and academic institutes for technological development and therapeutic applications.
