X-ray Crystallography Service

Introduction

X-ray crystallography is a technology that uses the scattering effect of electrons on X-rays to obtain the distribution of electron density in the crystal and then analyzes to obtain information about atomic positions and chemical bonds (crystal structure). X-ray crystallography has promoted the development of science to more complex and challenging fields, which is largely due to the latest developments in diffraction instruments and technologies. When using X-ray crystallography to determine the high-resolution structure, there is almost no size limitation on the sample. Small molecules as well as huge polymer complexes (such as viruses) can be studied by this technology. This versatility has made crystallography widely used in the study of biological processes such as molecular interactions and application fields such as drug development.
