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 ...

Francis Crick, who famously co-discovered the shape of DNA, once said: “If you want to understand function, study structure.” Many decades later, this remains a tenet of biology, chemistry, and ...

A newly developed experimental set-up allows the structure determination of biomolecules such as proteins with far smaller samples and shorter exposure times than before at synchrotron X-ray sources.

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

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 ...

Recent advances in macromolecular X-ray crystallography have laid a solid foundation from which a production pipeline optimized towards the determination of large numbers of structures can be ...

Researchers have developed a novel way to determine crystal type based on optics -- by identifying the unique ways in which these crystals absorb light. Nanocrystals have diverse applications spanning ...

UB crystallographers will continue their research at the nation’s premier X-ray synchrotron thanks to a $17.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The funding will support the NSF ...
