(Phys.org) —A team of researchers working in Japan has developed a method for allowing X-ray crystallography to work on molecular groups that have not first been crystallized. In their paper published ...

A new method for analyzing protein crystals—developed by Cornell University researchers and given a funky two-part name—could open up applications for new drug discovery and other areas of ...

Thanks to research performed at RIKEN's SACLA x-ray free electron laser facility in Japan, the dream of analyzing the structure of large, hard-to-crystallize proteins and other bio molecules has come ...

The world of the nanomolecular is an enigmatic one. To understand the physical, chemical, and nuclear properties that shape the world, scientists have devised ever-more sophisticated methods over the ...

Researchers at the RIKEN-JEOL Collaboration Center and the Kyoto University iCeMS (Material-Cell Integrated System Center) have developed a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) crystallography method for ...

Drug development relies on having an accurate knowledge of the structure of organic molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and viruses. The field is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and the need ...

For the development of time-resolved crystallography methods that have reshaped how molecular processes and protein dynamics can be observed. Dr Briony Yorke is a lecturer in physical chemistry at the ...

Crystallography, or the science of examining crystals, allows researchers to better understand materials as well as synthetic chemistry and biological processes. While common crystallography includes ...

X-Ray crystallography is a tool used to provide structural information about molecules. The technique was developed in 1912 by William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg (a father and son team who ...
