The function and structure of proteins are widely studied in proteomics, which facilitates the recognition of protein biomarkers associated with specific disease states, thereby providing potential targets for therapeutic treatment. Knowledge about the three-dimensional (3D) structure of proteins provides a high understanding of how the protein works and to use that collective data for various purposes. For instance, the information is used to control or alter protein's function, understand various protein biological interactions, and assist drug discovery.
