Can I read Matching X-ray source, optics and detectors to protein crystallography requirements on EtoBox?
Matching X-ray source, optics and detectors to protein crystallography requirements by Colin Nave is a Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Matching X-ray source, optics and detectors to protein crystallography requirements about?
A review of the requirements for collecting X-ray diffraction data from protein crystals is given, with an emphasis on the properties of the crystal and its diffraction pattern. The size, unit-cell dimensions and perfection of the crystals can all be related to the required size and divergence of the incident X-ray beam, together with the size and spatial resolution of the detector. The X-ray beam causes primary radiation damage, even in frozen crystals. If the incident beam is very intense, temperature rises and gradients could occur in the crystal. The extent to which these problems can be overcome is also discussed.
Who reads Matching X-ray source, optics and detectors to protein crystallography requirements?
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.
