Structural biology of plants

Structural biology of plants

Structural biology in plants involves studying the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules like proteins, DNA, and cellular structures within plant cells. Techniques like X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance reveal molecular conformations critical to plant functions such as photosynthesis, signal transduction, and stress response. For instance, elucidating the structure of the photosystem complexes has deepened our understanding of light capture and energy conversion in photosynthesis. Advances in plant structural biology offer potential breakthroughs in bioengineering, allowing scientists to design crops with improved metabolic pathways or enhanced resilience against environmental challenges.
