Vague, rippling patterns in X-ray diffraction data long considered useless for producing high-resolution protein structures instead can help improve them, according to a new study (Nature 2016, DOI: ...
X-ray diffraction is a time-honored technique for determining the regular arrangement of atoms in a crystal. If a protein can be condensed into a solid crystal, high-energy X-rays will glance off the ...
In graduate school, I had a seminar course where one of the sections was about X-ray crystallography. I was excited, because being able to discern the three-dimensional structure of macromolecules ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
Arizona State University researcher Petra Fromme has been awarded the 2021 Christian B. Anfinsen Award in honor of her contribution to the field of protein research. She has developed the use of ultra ...
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 ...
