 Structural bioinformatics

Computational analysis of biological three-dimensional structures. It connects structural comparison, prediction and annotation with questions about molecular relationships or function, while retaining the distinction between a predicted model and experimental evidence.

Structural bioinformatics is a specialized branch of bioinformatics that focuses on the analysis and prediction of the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules, primarily proteins and nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA). It combines concepts from biology, chemistry, computer science, and information technology to understand the structure-function relationships of biological molecules.
