Professor Kurt Krause works to understand the molecular structures involved in infectious diseases. By using X-ray crystallography, he can identify the structures of active sites in crystallised proteins of potential bioactive molecules. Finding inhibitors that will bind to those sites may lead to the development of effective drugs.
