Crystallography Made Crystal Clear

Crystallography Made Crystal Clear makes crystallographic basis. The macromolecular crystallographers, written by a leading expert in the field. Rhodes' uses visual and geometrical models to help readers form the basis of x-ray crystallography. He has invested in molecular modeling on personal computers. Rhodes' personal CMCC Home Page provides access to tools. Most significantly, the final chapter introduces the reader to macromolecular modeling on personal computers-featuring SwissPdbViewer, a free, powerful modeling program now available for PC, Power Macintosh, and Unix computers. This updated and expanded edition uses X-ray crystallography, and is now an important element in the field of X-ray crystallography.

* Helps readers to understand them blindly and
inappropriately
* Provides many visual and geometric models for understanding a largely mathematical method
* Allows readers to judge whether recently published models
* Allows readers to study macromolecular structure, regardless of the open-ended fashion on their own computers, without text or journals illustrations
* Provides access to web tools in a format that will not go out of date. Links will be updated and added
