          |  | Scientists 
            are using Berkeley Lab's state-of-the-art imaging resources to gain 
            new insight into the structure and function of proteins, including 
            those involved in cystic fibrosis. |

            microscopy and spectroscopy techniques are making it possible for 
            scientists to create 3-D images of protein complexes that are unsuitable 
            for x-ray crystallography. |

          |  | Powerful 
            new computational tools, such as those available at nersc, are playing 
            a key role in deciphering the molecular dynamics of proteins, including 
            creating "movies" of proteins in motion. |
