Biochimie Structurale. -

: Structural study of DNA and RNA, including nucleotide composition and double-helix geometry. 2. Key Analytical Techniques

Biochimie structurale (Structural Biochemistry) is the study of the molecular architecture of biological molecules—primarily carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids—and how their specific structures determine their biological functions. 1. Fundamental Biomolecules

: Focuses on the building blocks of life. Properties of the 20 standard amino acids. Biochimie structurale.

: Focused on classification and nomenclature. Key topics include:

: A primary method for determining high-resolution 3D structures of biological complexes and viruses. : Structural study of DNA and RNA, including

: Often combined with other methods to decipher the structure of large membrane proteins and pathogenic complexes.

: Two units joined by glycosidic bonds (e.g., sucrose, lactose). : Focused on classification and nomenclature

: Classification into simple lipids (fats, waxes) and complex lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids), emphasizing their role in membrane structure.
