Overview
Research
Today, the world class research in Biochemistry carried out at Uppsala University's Department of Chemistry – BMC is focused on issues related to the design and synthesis of biological macromolecules, analysis of the structure and dynamics of proteins and complex molecular systems, how biological function emerges and is regulated by molecular interactions.
Fundamental studies of enzyme catalysis and metabolic pathways is complemented by applied research based on protein engineering and innovative strategies for drug discovery. The research is based on state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical approaches, ranging from physical-chemical approaches to 3D structural modelling and bioinformatics.
