We are using X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron microscopy. Although structure determination is the essential part of our approach, we emphasize that structures themselves are not a goal, but a starting point of studies. Protein structures inspire the design of new biochemical experiments, and the feedbacks produce new targets for structural biology in the future. The tight coupling of structure determination and biological experiments is essential for successful structural studies.
