Crystals, x-rays and proteins: comprehensive protein crystallography
Sherwood, Dennis
Cooper, Jon
Information derived from X-ray crystal structures of biological molecules allows us to explain their functions in living organisms in extraordinary detail,and to develop drugs to treat disease. This book describes the principles andpractice of X-ray diffraction as a key technique at the forefront of new discoveries in biology and medicine. INDICE: 1: The crystalline state and its study; 2: Vector analysis and complex algebra; 3: Crystal systematics; 4: Waves and electromagnetic radiation; 5: Fourier transforms and convolutions; 6: Diffraction; 7: Diffraction fromone-dimensional obstacles; 8: Diffraction from a three-dimensional lattice; 9: The contents of the unit cell; 10: Experimental methods: sample preparatio; 11: Experimental techniques: data collection and analysis; 12: The Phase problem and the Patterson function; 13: Molecular replacement; 14: Solving the phase problem experimentally; 15: Refinement; 16: Complementary crystallographic methods
