Macromolecular Crystallography

Front Cover
Charles W. Carter, Robert M. Sweet
Gulf Professional Publishing, 1997 - 681 pages
Annotation Accurate molecular structures is vital for rational drug design and for structure based functional studies directed toward the development of effective therapeutic agents and drugs. Crystallography can reliably predict structure, both in terms of folding and atomic details of bonding.

* Phases
* Map interpretation and refinement
* Analysis and software.
