The Phase Problem of X-ray Crystallography
The intensities of a sufficient number of X-ray diffraction maxima determine the structure of a crystal, that is, the positions of the atoms in the unit cell of the crystal. The available intensities usually exceed the number of parameters needed to describe the structure. From these intensities a set of numbers jEHj can be derived, one corresponding to each intensity. However, the elucidation ...
متن کاملThe X-ray Transform and its Application in Nano Crystallography
In this article a review on the definition of the X- ray transform and some ofits applications in Nano crystallography is presented. We shall show that the X- raytransform is a special case of the Radon transform on homogeneous spaces when thetopological group E(n)- the Euclidean group - acts on ℝ2 transitively. First someproperties of the Radon transform are investigated then the relationship ...
متن کاملDirect measurements of Bragg-reflection phases in x-ray crystallography
We present a reference-beam x-ray-diffraction technique applied to a good-quality protein crystal. The technique is based on a multiple-beam diffraction principle and employs a modified oscillation camera in a Bragg inclined geometry, which allows a simultaneous measurement of both magnitudes and triplet phases of a large number of Bragg reflections from the sample. This work demonstrates that ...
متن کاملReview x Ray crystallography
x Ray crystallography is currently the most favoured technique for structure determination of proteins and biological macromolecules. Increasingly, those interested in all branches of the biological sciences require structural information to shed light on previously unanswered questions. Furthermore, the availability of a protein structure can provide a more detailed focus for future research. ...
متن کاملGeometric Constraints for the Phase Problem in X-Ray Crystallography
X-ray crystallography is one of the main methods to establish the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules. In an X-ray experiment, one can measure only the magnitudes of the complex Fourier coefficients of the electron density distribution under study, but not their phases. The problem of recovering the lost phases is called the phase problem. Building on earlier work by Lunin/...
