This course explores the structure-function relationships of macromolecular complexes and cellular ultrastructures involved in fundamental microbial processes. The structures of macromolecular machines will be considered from the perspective of the cellular requirements for survival in different environments and will be discussed in the context of their integration into building the basic elements of the microbial cell, as well as their exploitation as targets for antibiotics and other therapeutic approaches.
