Biological chemistry at Penn encompasses modern experimental and theoretical techniques to study the structure, physical properties, and function of biologically-important molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and membranes. Above, the work of the Marmorstein Group: Schematic structure of CR3 region of the human papillomavirus E7 oncoprotein homodimer, where the two protomers are colored in blue and green. Bound zinc atoms are colored in red.
