Biomolecular center is designed as an expert laboratory for studiyng the structure and properties of biologically relevant molecules and biopolymers, with main emphasis on proteins and nucleic acid fragments. On the horizontal level the Center will havea strong background in methods for studiing the biomolecules on the atomic level using NMR spectroscopy, molecular modeling and X-ray crystallography with appropriate support of biochemistry and molecular biology. The Center will be able to studythe biomolecular systems in the vertical direction starting with the atomic structure, through their in vitro properties to their function in living cells. From the very beginning, the Center will activelly participate in Ph.D programs (already now 14PhD. students). In the final stage, 25 core scientist will be employed in the Center with a significant support from postdoctoral fellows and PhD. students (2/3 of all coworkers). The group is involved in a large number of international projects.
