Research programs in the laboratories of the four applicants (Drs. Stetefeld, McKenna, O'Neil and Mark) are focused on investigating a variety of interesting biological systems including integral membrane protein channels, extremophilic S-layer components, viral nucleic acid recognition proteins and regulatory bacterial kinases. The common feature that links each of these research groups is the structural and functional characterization of specific protein samples and their potential ligands to investigate their role in regulating the biological systems of interest. Rapid advances in the field of structural biology have allowed the research groups included in this proposal to determine high-resolution three-dimensional images of protein-ligand complexes, and begin to characterize their biochemical function and mechanism in terms of key molecular features that dictate the interaction.

四位申请人（Stetefeld、McKenna、O'Neil 和 Mark 博士）实验室的研究项目重点研究各种有趣的生物系统，包括整合膜蛋白通道、嗜极 S 层成分、病毒核酸识别蛋白和调节细菌激酶。连接这些研究小组的共同特征是特定蛋白质样品及其潜在配体的结构和功能表征，以研究它们在调节感兴趣的生物系统中的作用。结构生物学领域的快速进步使该提案中的研究小组能够确定蛋白质-配体复合物的高分辨率三维图像，并开始根据决定其结构的关键分子特征来表征其生化功能和机制。相互作用。
