Description

This book is an exciting resource for those who are vitally interested in macromolecular models derived from X-ray crystallography but are unfamiliar with, or daunted by, crystallography itself. This book is for readers who want an intellectually satisfying understanding of how three-dimensional models of proteins and nucleic acids are derived from X-ray diffraction analysis of crystals. This understanding is essential for wise use of crystallographic models in studying enzyme catalysis, protein-mediated transport and recognition, protein/nucleic acid interaction, and protein folding, as well as in interpreting data from chemical, kinetic, thermodynamic, and spectroscopic studies of macromolecules.
