BAG Barcelona

BAG Barcelona joins 9 groups that belong to two different research institutions: the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona from the Spanish Research Council (IBMB-CSIC) and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine from Barcelona (IRB Barcelona). With a long tradition of accessing the ESRF, the main subjects of research from the BAG groups include protein/DNA complexes, components of viruses, molecular machines, molecular mechanisms of proteases and other enzymes, de-novo design of protein scaffolds and development of crystallopgrahic methods. Our scientific outcomes strongly rely on the excellent performance of ESRF beamlines, from which we are able to retrieve high-quality structural data with the exceptional support from their scientific staff .
