Dear All :
I beg for forgiveness that I am exceeding the scope of the ccp4bb
somewhat, but there are gems, worthwhile sharing, which
prove that that you should never assume that:
(a) you have seen it all
(b) such can't be true
(c) web tutorials achieve anything
So here, not a dvd april joke, but true and personally validated,
from Californian grad students, submitted by a dear collegue:
Crystallography can be defined as a wave.
In order to solve the electron density of a crystal structure
three valuable data set are needed: The amplitude and frequency
can be obtained by the x-ray data, the phase cannot.
One can use structural information to predict a more
accurate structure from x-ray crystallography.
The objective is to determine enthalpy change of various
acids and base when they react in a controlled environment
with demonized water.
