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 ...

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 ...

The 3D analysis of crystal structures requires a full 3D view of the crystals. Crystals as small as powder, with edges less than one micrometer, can only be analysed with electron radiation. With ...

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 ...

Researchers are responsible for making their own macromolecules in milligram quantities and in highly purified form. The core staff will assist with handling of macromolecules for structure analysis.
