Donald Trump reveals the structure of DNA after discovering it through the use of X-ray crystallography - 1953

When you do #cryoem but you’re trained in crystallography

Just finished the first part of a 5th teaching set: understanding extinctions in terms of frequences (Fourier goggles: on 😎) Have you ever thought about systematic absences this way? I wish I did when I started learning #crystallography behance.net/gallery/196637…

As of 2023, Sir William Lawrence Bragg is the youngest ever person to win a Nobel Prize in Physics (in 1915 aged 25 with his father, William Henry Bragg).

He was born #OnThisDay in 1890. He co-developed X-ray crystallography, a groundbreaking technique for determining the atomic

What a beautiful pyrene disorder! 😍 #crystallography

“Captured for life by chemistry and by crystals,” as she described it, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin turned a childhood interest into the ground-breaking use of X-ray crystallography to “see” the molecules of penicillin, vitamin B12 and insulin.

Time to apply a little pressure to our crystallography.

Have a nice week!

Should I leave a common name of a compound as Michel, as Kajetan_Bijouard suggested or not? 🤔

Crystallography & Eclipse
April 8, 2024

Chattin about crystal grids, crystals and the eclipse and methods to try for crystal healing and attunement of your biofield and environment.

Colourless crystal, they* say in publication…
They = we. Another failed trial for the structure of the “evil phase”.

one important reason we haven't reached an 'alphafold moment' for biological data beyond protein structures:

datasets for protein structure are consistent and uniform. x-ray crystallography or cryo-EM data provide absolute atomic coordinates, meaning that the data is

If you need a strong oxidant that's easy to make and handle, check out our newest in J. Am. Chem. Soc. today: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…. Congrats to Ananya_Saju and thanks to Matthew Crawley and Sam MacMillan CornellChemistry for X-ray crystallography.

Ever used a FLAG-tag and wondered how it is recognized by anti-FLAG M2? Check out our preprint where we determined a 💎crystal💎 structure of the complex: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (FLAG peptide in pink in the video below) #structuralbiology #crystallography

Do you know what an ion channel is? In 1998, medicine laureate Roderick MacKinnon succeeded in demonstrating what a potassium ion channel looks like by using x-ray crystallography. This mapping allowed MacKinnon to explain how potassium channel selectivity occurs.

A great course, you can even get a real practice in cutting edge time-resolved crystallography on a membrane protein😉and no, this is NOT #bacteriorhodopsin 😁
