Phasing in Crystallography

A Modern Perspective

by Carmelo Giacovazzo ...

Series Book 20 - International Union of Crystallography Texts on Crystallography
Modern crystallographic methods originate from the synergy of two main research streams, the small-molecule and the macro-molecular streams. The first stream was able to definitively solve the phase problem for molecules up to 200 atoms in the asymmetric unit. The achievements obtained by the macromolecular stream are also impressive. A huge number of protein structures have been deposited in the ... Read more
