In graduate school, I had a seminar course where one of the sections was about X-ray crystallography. I was excited, because being able to discern the three-dimensional structure of macromolecules … ...

X-Ray Source: A device that generates a beam of X-rays, typically with a specific wavelength.Common X-ray sources include sealed tubes, rotating anodes, and synchrotrons. Collimator: A device that ...

Finally, X-ray crystallography allows the three-dimensional structure determination of a macromolecule bound to an agonist or antagonist with little additional effort. The structure of such a complex ...

The purpose of the Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography ATC is to provide access to this advanced technology and to assist researchers to find a structure solution of their macromolecule of interest.

Technology's workhorse for determining protein structures is X-ray protein crystallography, in which a beam of x-rays sent through a crystallized protein is scattered by the protein's atoms, ...
