Crystals, x-rays and proteins : comprehensive protein crystallography / by Dennis Sherwood, Jon Cooper.

Information derived from X-ray crystal structures of biological molecules allows us to explain their functions in living organisms and to develop drugs to treat disease. This book describes the principles and practice of X-ray diffraction as a key technique at the forefront of new discoveries in bio...
