Structural biology forms the cornerstone of our understanding of the molecular architecture, function, and interaction dynamics of pathogens. Bacterial and viral pathogens affect millions worldwide, presenting significant challenges for global public health, particularly in the emergence of antibiotic resistance and viral pandemics. Therefore, obtaining in-depth structural insights into their molecular machinery and components becomes crucial for driving therapeutic and preventive strategies.
This Research Topic, "Structural Studies of Bacteria and Viruses," focuses on advancing our understanding of the structure, dynamics and functional complexities within pathogenic bacteria and viruses. By showcasing contributions exploring the structural aspects that provide new insights into pathogen biology, host interactions, evolution mechanisms, protein dynamics, and targeting strategies, we aim to provide crucial information for accelerating therapeutic developments and guiding future research directions.
