Introduction to crystallography Sands D.E.
Publisher: Dover

With the introduction of more sophisticated instrumentation and computers with suitable software, X-ray crystallography of proteins has grown to a relatively common technique, and structures are being published with ever increasing speed. Cool Chemistry Concoctions · Buy this book ». In the late 1980s, the field was transformed when the potential for design was introduced . Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry: An Introduction [F. Structure of materials: an introduction to crystallography, diffraction and symmetry. It is impossible to give more than a flavor of what the x-ray crystallographic technique entails in one brief chapter; therefore, this chapter focuses its attention on the Molecular Replacement method. Today x-ray crystallography is widely used in materials and biological research. The introduction of a methylimidazole (MI) group at residue C131 in the active site results in up to a 3-fold rate enhancement of CO2 hydration by the enzyme versus wild-type activity. This is intended as a (very) brief introduction to some of the common x-ray diffraction techniques used in materials characterization.
