Book Description
Crystallography Made Crystal Clear is designed to meet the need for an X-ray analysis that is between brief textbook sections and complete treatments. The book provides non-crystallographers with an intellectually satisfying explanation of the principles of how protein models are gleaned from X-ray analysis. The understanding of these concepts will foster wise use of the models, including the recognition of the strengths and weaknesses of pictures or computer graphics. Since proteins comprise the majority of the mass of macromolecules in cells and carry out biologically important tasks, the book will be of interest to biologists.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The past several years have witnessed an explosion of new protein crystal structures. Efforts by the author to provide mechanism by which non-specialists can come to better understand and access the information are timely.” — David matthews, Agouron
