General description

This book provides a comprehensive summary of the field of crystallography, fundamental theory of diffraction and properties of crystals, and applications in determining macromolecular structure. Without assuming a background in physics or math, book′s contents flow logically from basic principles to methods, such as those for solving phase problems, interpretation of Patterson maps, and the difference Fourier method. This introduction includes practical instruction on interpretation of data and methods for determining phases and also illustrates concepts throughout to clarify difficult ideas; integrates analogies to illuminate the text; equips the reader to employ the range of programs in crystallography.
