Synopsis

This volume contains many examples of how crystallography is important to chemistry and biochemistry. It explains the results of X-ray diffraction analysis of crystals for chemists and biochemists who do not conduct the studies themselves. It places X-ray diffraction in context with other methods of structural analysis, such as solution studies and molecular modelling. The language used is not overly technical, making it suitable for use as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate/graduate students taking courses in crystal structure determination.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The fields of structural chemistry and biochemistry have blossomed in the last seventy years since X–ray diffraction was discovered in 1912. Dorothy Hodgkin, who obtained a Nobel Prize in 1965 for her X–ray diffraction work wrote ′a great advantage of X–ray analysis as a method of chemical structure analysis is its power to show some totally unexpected and surprising structure with, at the same time, complete certainty.′ The results of all X–ray diffraction studies are used by chemists and buiochemists but these scientists need to be able to appreciate the significance and extent to which these results may be used.

A number of books written for practicing crystallographers cover the theory and applications of X–ray diffraction, but few are of real practical use to non–specialists. In ′Crystal Structure Analysis for Biologists and Chemists′, the general principles of crystal structure are presented in a highly readable way. The book of Glusker, who is internationally renowned, provides good coverage of theory, including data and understanding their significance.
