**_Background_**
**_Beamline / Project / Activity description_**
The Structural Biology Laboratory (SBL) at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste is organized as a User Support Laboratory. It employs molecular biology, biochemical, biophysical, and structural biology tools to study the atomic architecture of proteins and protein complexes. In addition to external users of Elettra and FERMI, SBL supports two main in-house research groups:
- RU1: Structural biology of DNA helicases and DNA/RNA-binding proteins.
- RU2: Protein Targets for Drug Discovery.
External users and the members of the RU1 and RU2 groups, led by their Principal Investigators, use shared infrastructures and cutting-edge instrumentation. SBL has recently undergone significant upgrades, enhancing its protein production, biophysical characterization, and crystallization workflows. New instrumentation has been implemented to ensure high-purity sample preparation and highly automated crystallization set-ups.
