Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography

Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography allows researchers to understand the biological function of different macromolecules and to determine their three dimensional structures. Methods employed include crystallisation, X-ray diffraction of macromolecule crystals, processing of collected diffraction images, model building and refinement. The molecular and structural information obtained could ultimately provide a better understanding of the mechanism of these macromolecules.
