X-ray Crystallography

X-ray crystallography is a technique used to determine the three-dimensional structure of molecules, especially large biological molecules like proteins and DNA, by analyzing how X-rays diffract (scatter) off a crystal of the molecule. It works by shining a beam of X-rays onto a crystal, and detecting the pattern of scattered X-rays. This pattern, which is … Read more

Protein Chemistry

Protein chemistry is the study of the chemical and physical properties of proteins, including their structure, function, and interactions with other molecules. It encompasses a wide range of techniques and approaches used to understand how these vital biological macromolecules work. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Amino Acids: Proteins are made up of chains of amino … Read more
