X-ray crystallography is a powerful technique used to determine the atomic structure of crystalline materials, including biological macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. This method has been ...

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 ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of photosynthesis can enable significant progress in the fields of biotechnology and renewable energy. Photosystem II (PSII), a protein ...

Arizona State University researcher Petra Fromme has been awarded the 2021 Christian B. Anfinsen Award in honor of her contribution to the field of protein research. She has developed the use of ultra ...

An unusual protein structure known as a "rippled beta sheet," first predicted in 1953, has now been created in the laboratory and characterized in detail using x-ray crystallography. The new findings, ...

Jon Mason and Miles Congreve from Heptares will describe what protein-ligand X-ray data can do for your medicinal chemistry project. How these data can be interpreted and used to influence both the ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton have developed technology to help scientists observe proteins in motion. Understanding how proteins move will allow novel drugs to be designed. X-ray ...

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 ...

The unspoken promise of new technologies is that they will advance and enhance our picture of the world — that goes double for the ones that are specifically designed to let us look closer at the ...

Physicists Lawrence Bragg and William Henry Bragg demonstrate that X-rays can be used to accurately determine the position of atoms in a crystal. X-ray crystallography would prove essential in the ...

Researchers from Okayama University have discovered rapid structural changes in the oxygen-evolving center of Photosystem II (PSII) upon light excitation, revealing insights into the mechanism of ...
