Structural Biology Group is part of
Biochemistry and Molecular and Structural Biology department at
Jozef Stefan Institute.

DUŠAN TURK's LAB

Our scientific interest is in the investigation of principles of molecular mechanisms in biological systems at the atomic level from the points of view of structural, molecular and computational biology.


Our major research areas are:

The molecules of our interest are proteases themselves, their substrates, including proenzymes, and inhibitors as regulators of their activity. In order to study the principles of intra- and intermolecular interactions the 3-dimensional structure of a macromolecule resolved to atomic details is an essential step.



Here the latest releases of MAIN are tested and PURY is developed.
