Protein crystallography is a scientific technique used to study the structure of proteins at an atomic level. It involves growing tiny crystals of proteins and then shooting X-rays at these crystals. The X-rays bounce off the crystals and create a pattern, which scientists can use to determine the arrangement of atoms in the protein. Understanding the structure of proteins through crystallography helps researchers to better understand their function and potentially develop new drugs or therapies based on this knowledge.

With just a bachelor's degree, she began working in the lab
of protein crystallography pioneer and Nobel Laureate Dorothy Hodgkin, who solved structures for penicillin, Vitamin B12 and insulin.
To obtain a 3D model of uromodulin, the researchers used a technique
called protein crystallography, which produces atomic - resolution information on protein molecules by bombarding their crystals with X-rays.
LPS focuses on structural and biochemical studies of proteins, especially nucleic acid enzymes, using
protein crystallography as a primary method.
The Laboratory of Protein Structure (LPS) started its activities in 2008 and focuses on structural and biochemical studies of proteins (e.g.: nucleic acid enzymes)
using protein crystallography as the primary method.
So to figure out a protein's form — the way it folds in space — they turned to the Jez lab, which specializes
in protein crystallography, essentially a form of high - resolution microscopy that allows protein structures to be visualized at the atomic level.
In collaboration with Dr Raphael Gasper - Schönenbrücher from the work
group Protein Crystallography, headed by Prof Dr Eckhard Hofmann, they solved the atomic structure of GtCPES.
He splits his time between the lab, where his group studies the molecular function of key proteins in cell regulation and pathogenicity, and directing a state - of - the -
art Protein Crystallography Core Facility.
He joined the laboratory of James Wang at Harvard University working on DNA toposisomerases, and subsequently the lab of Guy Dodson at the University of York, learning
protein crystallography working on ligand discrimination in oxygen transport proteins.
For drug discovery, the ESRF offers state - of - the - art
protein crystallography facilities, including MASSIF, the world - leading unique beamline for the high throughput, fully automatic characterisation and data collection of macromolecular crystals.
Protein crystallography involves separating out a pure sample of the protein, coaxing the protein to crystallize, then shooting X-rays at the crystal and mapping where the light bounces off.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NASA's program to
study protein crystallography has made «no serious contributions» to scientific knowledge and should be canceled — along with most other life science research in space.
Concerns are being expressed by current SRA's that the proposed new organization of study sections will be «too vertical» and thus have insufficient expertise in some of the basic sciences, such as
protein crystallography for example.
«Things were coming together so that the
whole protein crystallography experiment could be controlled by a piece of software sitting at a single terminal,» says Sauter.
