What is X-Ray Crystallography? X-ray crystallography is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials. It involves directing a beam of X ...

Single crystal X-ray diffraction remains the most powerful technique to determine the three-dimensional structure of biologically important macromolecules and their functional ligand complexes at or ...

At present, the ALS has six hard X-ray beamlines dedicated to X-ray crystallography, with two more in the works. UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco together operate one beamline, managed by Holton, that ...

X-ray crystallography has a record of extraordinary achievement in science, and its impact on the biological sciences has been immense. Crystallography was originally used to numerically construct ...

If you’re not in a STEM field, you probably have no idea what crystallography is. But you should, and this is why: (1) Almost every drug that’s gone on the market in the past 30 years was developed ...

"Function follows form" might have been written to describe proteins, as the M. C. Escher-esque folds and twists of nature's workhorse biomolecules enables each to carry out its specific ...

The X-ray Crystallography Center was fully renovated in November 2007 and houses a single-crystal X-ray diffraction system, a brand-new Bruker D8 VENTURE diffractometer, providing X-ray diffraction ...

A newly developed experimental set-up allows the structure determination of biomolecules such as proteins with far smaller samples and shorter exposure times than before at synchrotron X-ray sources.

Arizona State University researcher Petra Fromme has been awarded the 2021 Christian B. Anfinsen Award in honor of her contribution to the field of protein research. She has developed the use of ultra ...

(Nanowerk News) In 1999, UCLA professor John Miao pioneered a technique called coherent diffractive imaging, or CDI, which allows scientists to re-create the 3D structure of noncrystalline samples or ...
