In crystallography, a screw axis is a symmetry operation describing how a combination of rotation about an axis and a translation parallel to that axis leaves a crystal unchanged. Screw axes are noted by a number, ''n'', where the angle of rotation is 360°/''n''. The degree of translation...

CrystallographyElastic vs. inelastic scattering X-ray crystallography is a form of elastic scattering; the outgoing X-rays have the same energy, and thus same wavelength, as the incoming X-rays, only with altered direction. By contrast, ”inelastic scattering” occurs when energy is transferred ...
CrystallographyEarly scientific history of crystals and X-rays X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895, just as the studies of crystal symmetry were being concluded. Physicists were initially uncertain of the nature of X-rays, although it was soon suspected ...

CrystallographyThe process was first proposed by UCLA structural biologist Todd Yeates in 1995, who suggested that a racemic mixture of proteins would crystallize more readily than each component alone. The process of mixing proteins made of D-amino acids with the ...
CrystallographyIn crystallography, a screw axis is a symmetry operation describing how a combination of rotation about an axis and a translation parallel to that axis leaves a crystal unchanged. Screw axes are noted by a number, ”n”, where the angle ...
Cosmic Crystallography is a technique used in physics and astronomy to determine the possible topology of the universe (eg. a torus, 3-sphere, etc.). astronomers observe sources of high redshift and look for repeating patterns that may indicate the connection of ...
CrystallographyX-ray crystallography has led to a better understanding of chemical bonds and non-covalent interactions. The initial studies revealed the typical radii of atoms, and confirmed many theoretical models of chemical bonding, such as the tetrahedral bonding of carbon in the ...
Racemic crystallography is a recently-developed technique of structural biology, which appears capable of producing certain protein crystals. Adapted from the Wikipedia article Racemic crystallography, under the G. N. U. Free Documentation License. Please also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
Crystallography is a tool that is often employed by materials scientists. In single crystals, the effects of the crystalline arrangement of atoms is often easy to see macroscopically, because the natural shapes of crystals reflect the atomic structure. In addition, ...
CrystallographyLouis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822, in Dôle, a small town in France. He grew in a humble family and his father was a tanner. He graduated in 1840 from the College of Arts at Besancon and entered ...
Some materials studied using crystallography, proteins for example, do not occur naturally as crystals. Typically, such molecules are placed in solution and allowed to crystallize over days, weeks, or months through vapor diffusion. A drop of solution containing the molecule, ...
X-ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X-rays strikes a crystal and diffracts into many specific directions. From the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams, a crystallographer ...
X-ray crystallography is the primary method for determining the molecular conformations of biological macromolecules, particularly protein and nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. In fact, the double-helical structure of DNA was deduced from crystallographic data. The first crystal structure ...
Crystallography is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in solids. The word “crystallography” is derived from the Greek words ”crystallon” = cold drop / frozen drop, with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of ...

*Coordinates in ”square brackets” such as [100] denote a direction vector (in real space). *Coordinates in ”angle brackets” or ”chevrons” such as denote a ”family” of directions which are related by symmetry operations. In the cubic crystal system for example, ...
