Description: because it was really the best place in the world then for x-ray crystallography. And x-ray crystallography is now a subject in, you know, chemistry departments. I mean, in those days it was the domain of the physicists. So the best place for x-ray crystallography

Dan Shechtman

I was a subject of ridicule and lectures about the basics of crystallography. The leader of the opposition to my findings was the two-time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling, the idol of the American Chemical Society and one of the most famous scientists in the world.

X-Ray crystallography is nowadays an accurate and rapid method of determining conformation in the crystal lattice, which conformation usually corresponds to the preferred conformation in solution.

British Scientist

Gregory Petsko

Synchrotron light has revolutionized the field of protein crystallography. It has made it possible to look at much larger structures with much smaller crystals.

American Scientist

Venkatraman Ramakrishnan

My earlier exposure to physics certainly helped me in the use of biophysical techniques like crystallography, the use of computing, calculations, etc.

Gunter Blobel

The structure of many cellular macromolecules has been revealed at the atomic level using x-ray crystallography.

German Scientist

Robert Huber

This discovery convinced me of the power of crystallography and led me to continue in this field.

Crystallography is a specialized science studied in universities, often within chemistry or geology departments.

Academic Field

Crystallography involves complex concepts like atomic arrangements which might require some background in science.

Complex Concepts

Crystallography is practical; it helps design drugs and understand materials' properties.

Practical Applications

In crystallography, precise equipment and methods are used to identify crystal structures, not just visual inspection.

Technical Procedure

Crystallography requires skill to interpret patterns and recognize different crystals, which takes practice.

Identification Skill

Crystallography in geology provides insight into Earth's history and processes that form rocks and minerals.

Geological Insight
