本文主要報導中興大學生化研究所在植物病原菌Xanthomonas campestris結構基因體學研究的最近進展。結構基因體是一門最近快速發展的跨領域科學,其中包括生物資訊學、核磁共振學、X光晶體繞射學、功能基因體學及蛋白質體學等等。它的順利推展對現代生命科學、生物科技及藥物研發都將有極深遠的影響。目前本團隊已做出初步的成績。相信假以時日,台灣的微生物結構基因體學將在國際上佔一席之地。
This article mainly discusses the recent progress in structural genomics studies of the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris executed in the Institute of Biochemistry, NCHU. Structural genomics is a new and rapidly progressing research frontier including bioinformatics, NMR, X-ray diffraction, functional genomics, and proteomics, etc. If successfully executed, it can make a significant impact toward the modern life science, biotechnique and drug development. We have made a significant progress toward this goal, and believe that Taiwan Structural Genomics teams will make their its debut in future soon.
