How are Structural Biology Techniques Applied in Histology?
Several structural biology techniques are invaluable to histologists. Electron microscopy provides highly detailed images of cellular structures, allowing for the visualization of organelles and cytoskeletal components at the nanoscale. Immunohistochemistry, combined with structural biology insights, can reveal the localization and interaction of proteins within tissues. Additionally, molecular modeling can predict how mutations might alter protein structure and, consequently, tissue function.
