Development of Membrane Protein Structural Biology in Australia

膜蛋白是所有生物体的关键组成部分，占细胞蛋白质的30%以上，占所有药物靶标的50%以上。尽管它们在医学上很重要，但我们对膜蛋白的了解仍然非常有限，需要进一步的技术进步。这项工作将在澳大利亚牢固地建立膜蛋白晶体学，并为这一重要领域的新研究人员的培训提供基础。

Membrane proteins are key components of all living organisms, constituting more than 30% of cellular proteins and representing more than 50% of all drug targets. Despite their medical importance our knowledge of membrane proteins is still extremely limited and requires further technological advances. This work will firmly establish membrane protein crystallography in Australia and provide a basis for training of new researchers in this important field.
