Electron crystallography of 2D protein crystals can determine the structure of membrane embedded proteins at high resolution. Images or electron diffraction patterns are recorded with the electron microscope of the frozen hydrated samples, and the 3D struc ...
It is shown that an elementary semi-quantitative approach explains essential features of the X-ray free-electron laser mechanism, in particular those of the gain and saturation lengths. Using mathematical methods and derivations simpler than complete theor ...
Protein powder diffraction is shown to be suitable for obtaining de novo solutions to the phase problem at low resolution via phasing methods such as the isomorphous replacement method. Two heavy-atom derivatives (a gadolinium derivative and a holmium deri ...
Electron crystallography is a powerful technique for the structure determination of membrane proteins as well as soluble proteins. Sample preparation for 2D membrane protein crystals is a crucial step, as proteins have to be prepared for electron microscop ...
The preparation of single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis is frequently the most difficult step in structural studies of proteins.With the aid of two examples, it is shown that de novo solution of the crystallographic phase problem can be achieved at l ...
Incommensurate crystal structures do not display three-dimensional periodicity. Discovered in the 1960's, a mathematical model has been established in 1974 only. Incommensurate structures belong to the big family of aperiodic structures. The modulation of ...
Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations of Crystallography covers theoretical and fundamental aspects of the structure of matter. The journal is the prime forum for research in diffraction physics and the theory of crystallographic structure determin ...
X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques are widely used in determining crystallographic orientations. In this paper we describe a two-step method to determine the three-dimensional orientations of ferroelectric single crystals based on an improved rotating orie ...
This paper presents a novel goniometer which is designed for use with X-ray diffraction analysis in protein crystallography. The PRIGO (Parallel Robotics Inspired Goniometer) is a 6 degree of freedom positioning device, allowing 3 translations (x, y, z) an ...
