Joseph Tanski still remembers the first time he figured out a molecule’s structure using X-ray crystallography. It was the early 1990s, and he was a sophomore at Vassar College. It took more than a ...

Function and form are deeply intertwined in biology. Knowing how organisms grow, adapt and reproduce requires understanding their physical structures. Hence the transformative power of the microscope ...

Crystallography is the study of the atomic structures of crystals, where the diffraction or reflection of x-rays through the crystal is used to determine the crystal's internal structure. Crystal ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 U.S. National Committee for Crystallography (USNC/Cr) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provided an online workshop series for students and researchers on the use, ...

The UK has a long and successful history in crystallography, but among its numerous Nobel Prize winners in the field, the only woman was headlined as a mere 'Oxford housewife' 2014 has been declared ...
