Queensland high throughput structural biology screening facility

结构生物学正在经历一场世界性的革命，使蛋白质结构确定的速度大大加快。澳大利亚目前缺乏实现这种高通量结构生物学方法的设施。我们计划建立一个解决这一缺陷的设施，并将使每年能够确定数百种新蛋白质的结构。它将对昆士兰和澳大利亚其他地区的结构生物学研究以及生物技术的相关领域做出重大贡献，包括药物发现、生物信息学、分子设计和功能基因组学。

Structural biology is undergoing a worldwide revolution, enabling an enormous acceleration in the rate of protein structure determination. Australia currently lacks facilities to enable this high throughput approach to structural biology. We plan to establish a facility that addresses this deficiency and will enable the structure determination of hundreds of new proteins per year. It will contribute significantly to structural biology research in Queensland and elsewhere in Australia and also to allied fields of biotechnology, including drug discovery, bioinformatics, molecular design and functional genomics.
