Charles-Adrien Arnaud studies the molecular structure of bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), focusing on how the tail structures of siphophages attach to and inject their DNA into bacterial cells. This work combines structural biology techniques such as NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy and protein crystallography to understand how these viral machines work at the atomic level. The research also touches on related methods for studying protein structure, including deuteration techniques used to improve NMR signal resolution.
