Crystallography Made Crystal Clear: A Guide for Users of Macromolecular Models

Crystallography Made Crystal Clear: A Guide for Users of Macromolecular Models, Fourth Edition makes crystallography accessible to readers who have no prior knowledge of the field or its mathematical basis. The book provides a comprehensive and concise reference for beginning macromolecular crystallographers and non-specialist users of crystallographic models. Visual and geometric models are used to help readers understand the physics and mathematics that form the basis of X-ray crystallography. Importantly, readers will learn how to use modern web-based tools to evaluate model and data quality.This updated and expanded new edition also includes discussion of the recent advances in infrastructure and automation and how these have impacted structural biology. Uses accessible language and updated graphics to explain complex topics Covers traditional single crystal data collection, serial data collection and long-wavelength crystallography-the unique aspects of which are not currently covered in any other text Includes new chapters describing model building and model validation procedures with step-by-step guidance INDICE: 1. Models and Molecules2. An Overview of Protein Crystallography3. Protein Crystals4. Collecting Diffraction Data5. From Diffraction Data to Electron Density6. Obtaining and Judging the Molecular Model7. Evaluating and Using Crystallographic Models8. Applications9. Other Kinds of Macromolecular Models
