About this Item

Paperback. Theoretical and experimental advances in the techniques available for solving crystal structures have led to the development of several powerful techniques for solving complex structures, including those of proteins. Michael Woolfson and Fan Hai-fu describe all the available methods and how they are used. In addition to traditional methods such as the use of the Patterson function and isomorphous replacement, and the direct methods, the authors include methods that use anomalous scattering and observations from multiple-beam scattering. The fundamental physics and mathematical analyses are fully explained. Practical aspects of applying the methods are emphasised. In this 1995 book, all of the techniques available for analysing crystal structures are described at a professional level. These techniques are applied in molecular biology, chemistry, physics, mineralogy, and metallurgy. The fundamental physics and the mathematical analyses are fully explained. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Synopsis

Michael Woolfson and Fan Hai-fu describe all the available methods of solving crystal structure and how they are used. In addition to traditional means such as the use of the Patterson function and isomorphous replacement, and the direct methods, the authors include techniques that use anomalous scattering and observations from multiple-beam scattering. The fundamental physics and mathematical analyses are fully explained. Practical aspects of applying the methods are also emphasized.
