Biomolecule s are too small to see in detail even with the most advanced light Microscope s. The methods that structural biologists use to determine their structures generally involving measurements on vast numbers of identical molecules at the same time. These methods include Crystallography , NMR , Ultra Fast Laser Spectroscopy , Electron Microscopy , Electron Cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM), and Circular Dichroism . Most often researchers use them to study the static " Native State s" of macromolecules. But variations on these methods are also used to watch nascent or Denature d molecules assume or reassume their native states (see e.g. Protein Folding ). A third approach that structural biologists take to understanding structure is .
