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 ...

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 Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography Core and the Recombinant Protein Production and Characterization Core have merged into a new core, the “Recombinant Protein Production, Characterization, and ...

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 ...

The fundamental approach to structure-based crystallography hasn’t really changed since 1913, when father and son duo, W. H. and W. L. Bragg, solved the first structure of any material at an atomic ...

For most proteins that have had their structure determined, this has been done using protein crystallography. When the macromolecular structure of a protein is determined in this way, it is firstly ...

Well-ordered crystals of appropriate dimensions are at the heart of any crystallographic study, and their diffraction quality and size often limit a project’s success. It is generally desirable to ...

Around 100 years ago a father and his son in north England conducted an experiment that would revolutionise the way scientists study molecules. A refined version of their method still remains one of ...

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 ...
