Applications of Structural Biology | Identifying host pathogen interactions and protein misfolding

This video highlights the applications of structural biology, focusing on how it helps scientists understand host-pathogen interactions and protein misfolding—two key areas in biomedical research. Viewers will learn how structural techniques such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and molecular modeling are used to visualize and analyze the 3D structures of proteins. These insights are essential for identifying how pathogens invade host cells and how errors in protein folding can lead to diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The video emphasizes how this knowledge contributes to drug design, vaccine development, and therapeutic interventions.
