Structural biology: Inside the living cell

Nature. 2009 Mar 5;458(7234):37-8. doi: 10.1038/458037a.

Abstract

Proteins work properly only if they have the correct three-dimensional atomic structure. It is now possible to look at the structures and dynamics of these biological macromolecules as they function inside cells.
