    The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many physiological processes. In this article series, Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology collates Reviews that present important structural findings and illuminate their mechanistic and functional significance.
