Structural Biology Shared Resource (SBSR)

The Structural Biology Shared Resource enables advanced atomic-level studies on the structure and function of cancer related molecules, macromolecules, and their interactions with drugs and biologicals.

Scheduling, Location, and Hours of Operation

Protein Purification Unit: Translational Biomedical Research Center (TBRC), 3rd floor
Cryo-EM facility: Health Research Center, Basement
Monday–Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Services and Technologies

The SBSR consists of the Protein Purification unit and the Structure Determination unit. The Protein Purification unit produces homogeneous, high-quality proteins well suited for downstream biophysical studies and structure determination. The Structure Determination unit employs X-ray crystallography, Cryo-EM, and advanced AI-assisted analytical tools for structure determination and imaging.
