Image definition evaluation functions for X-ray crystallography: a new perspective on the phase problem.
The core theme of X-ray crystallography is reconstructing the electron-density distribution of crystals under the constraints of observed diffraction data. Nevertheless, reconstruction of the electron-density distribution by straightforward Fourier synthesis is usually hindered due to the well known phase problem and the finite resolution of diffraction data. In analogy with optical imaging sys...
متن کاملThe 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 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/...
متن کاملPhase Problem in X-ray Crystallography, and Its Solution
X-ray diffraction provides one of the most important tools for examining the three-dimensional (3D) structure of biological macromolecules. The physics of diffraction requires that in order to resolve features of atomic structure it is necessary to employ radiation with a wavelength of the order of atomic spacing or smaller. Xrays have suitable wavelength, and interact with the electrons of the...
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 ...
