Bmc Structural Biology
Overview
BMC Structural Biology is a peer-reviewed open-access journal that publishes high-quality research articles, reviews, and methodology papers in the field of structural biology. It covers a wide range of topics including protein structure, macromolecular complexes, molecular modeling, and biophysical techniques. The journal aims to advance our understanding of the structure-function relationships of biological macromolecules and their implications in health and disease.

BMC Struct Biol
. 2019 Feb;
19(1):3.
PMID: 30727987
Background: It had long been thought that a protein exhibits its specific function through its own specific 3D-structure under physiological conditions. However, subsequent research has shown that there are many...

PMID: 30646888
Background: Ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase (EC 2.7.6.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of ribose-5-phosphate to phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate. The reaction product is a key precursor for the biosynthesis of purine...

PMID: 30646877
Background: Three transketolase genes have been identified in the human genome to date: transketolase (TKT), transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) and transketolase-like 2 (TKTL2). Altered TKT functionality is strongly implicated in the...

PMID: 30554569
Background: To perform a three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) images of viruses, it is necessary to determine the similarity of image blocks of the two-dimensional (2-D) projections of...
