Macromolecular Crystallography, Part B, Volume 277 (Methods in Enzymology)

Macromolecular Crystallography, Part B is the"linch-pin"of the ongoing revolution in structural biology. In the past decade, fundamental transformations of nearly every technical aspect of structure determination by X-ray diffraction have taken place. The contributions of this volume and its companion Volume 276 emphasize the revision and extension of statistical tools that underly all phases of structure determination, the practical and conceptual impact of synchrotron radiation, horizon phase-determination methods, and computerized automation.

Key Features
* Horizon methods for phase determination
* Structure building, refinement, and analysis
* Analysis of static diffraction patterns and multiple diffraction patterns recorded as a function of time
* Accessory software for manipulating, archiving, analyzing, and presenting structures
* Documentation of integrated software packages containing the tools needed for structure solution

Praise for the Series
"The Methods in Enzymology series represents the gold-standard."
--NEUROSCIENCE
"Incomparably useful."
--ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
"It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents, with timely documentation provided on each page."
--BIO/TECHNOLOGY
"The series has been following the growing, changing and creation of new areas of science. It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection."
--CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY
"The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced."
--AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS
"If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be the multi-volume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work."
--ENZYMOLOGIA
"A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists."
--JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY
