Submicrosecond X-ray crystallography: new technique, challenges and opportunities

The X-ray Transform and its Application in Nano Crystallography

In this article a review on the definition of the X- ray transform and some ofits applications in Nano crystallography is presented. We shall show that the X- raytransform is a special case of the Radon transform on homogeneous spaces when thetopological group E(n)- the Euclidean group - acts on ℝ2 transitively. First someproperties of the Radon transform are investigated then the relationship ...

Sub-atomic resolution X-ray crystallography and neutron crystallography: promise, challenges and potential

The International Year of Crystallography saw the number of macromolecular structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank cross the 100000 mark, with more than 90000 of these provided by X-ray crystallography. The number of X-ray structures determined to sub-atomic resolution (i.e. ≤1 Å) has passed 600 and this is likely to continue to grow rapidly with diffraction-limited synchrotron radiation ...

Review x Ray crystallography

x Ray crystallography is currently the most favoured technique for structure determination of proteins and biological macromolecules. Increasingly, those interested in all branches of the biological sciences require structural information to shed light on previously unanswered questions. Furthermore, the availability of a protein structure can provide a more detailed focus for future research. ...

Multiple challenges in protein structure determination by x-ray crystallography

X-ray lasers and crystallography

The development of X-ray lasers and their applications in crystallography is described. In the birth of this new field, IUCrJ is ideally positioned to present this research to both specialists in crystallography, and to the wider audience in structural biology.
