Structure Determination as it has been Developed through X-ray Crystallography
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of how x-ray crystallographyis used to determine the structure of proteins and other biological macromolecules at high resolution. Our brief review of x-ray crystallography is designed to identify the most important mathematical concepts that electron crystallography has in common with x-ray crystallography. Thus, this chapter is meant to be a summary of concepts that the reader should be familiar with in order to work independently and proficiently in the field of electron crystallography. Our review is not intended to teach these concepts in full detail; that would be the subject of an entire book of its own.
