The crystallography facility operates three diffraction systems in two locations on campus as well as facilities for crystallization and crystal screening. Software needed for data analysis and structure determination is maintained on all CSB-suppported computers. Training in all phases of crystallographic structure determination is available through individual consultations. In addition to modern in-house facilities, Vanderbilt has extensive access to synchrotron resources through membership in the Southeastern Regional Collaborative Access Team, SER-CAT, in the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.

The NMR Center provides instrumentation and assistance in obtaining data on the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. The Facility offers state-of-the-art instrumentation including a 500 MHz, two 600 MHz one 800 MHz and a 900MHz Avance-III spectrometers. All instruments are equipped with four channels, cryo-probes including a cold carbon channels, and phosphorous channels on the 500 and one 600 spectrometer. The cryo-probes drastically enhance the sensitivity of these spectrometers. Two 600 specimen automatic sample changers are available for high throughput screening and all spectrometers are equipped with a nitrogen re-liquefactions system. A variety of training opportunities are offered as well as assistance with software and experimental design.

The CryoEM facility specializes in visualizing biological complexes such as viruses, small organelles, and macromolecular biological complexes of 200 kDa or larger preserved in non-crystaline ice. The near native imaging conditions allows three dimensional reconstruction of the cellular machinary. Using state of the art computer controlled, automated microscopes, image reconstruction software, and visualization tools, sub-nanometer resolution structures of large biological complexes can be achieved.
