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 ...

X-ray crystallography is a powerful non-destructive technique for determining the molecular structure of a crystal. X-ray crystallography uses the principles of X-ray diffraction to analyze the sample ...

X-Ray crystallography is a tool used to provide structural information about molecules. The technique was developed in 1912 by William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg (a father and son team who ...

When chemists want to determine the structure of a molecule, they typically turn to X-ray crystallography. But chemists often find they can’t grow the large, high-quality crystals required for ...

The world of the nanomolecular is an enigmatic one. To understand the physical, chemical, and nuclear properties that shape the world, scientists have devised ever-more sophisticated methods over the ...

Chemical structure databases, such as the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and the Crystallography Open Database, are indispensable repositories of information for chemical research. These ...

A new study by chemists at the University of Arkansas shows that X-ray crystallography, the standard method for determining the structure of proteins, can provide inaccurate information about a ...

X-ray crystallography, like mass spectroscopy and nuclear spectroscopy, is an extremely useful material characterization technique that is unfortunately hard for amateurs to perform. The physical ...

From stunning gemstones to glittering snowflakes, the mesmerising patterns of crystals can be found everywhere in nature. Their beautiful structure has provided scientists with an understanding of ...
