Glories of protein structure
نویسنده
چکیده
When the history of 20th century science is written, surely the chapter on determining the structure of molecules by X-ray crystallography, NMR, and electron microscopy will be one of the most prominent, with the structures of proteins and viruses being the culminating glory. No current book illustrates and explains these glories more effectively and concisely than Branden and Tooze’s second edition of their fine text.

Atmospheric glories: simulations and observations.
Mie theory can be used to provide full-color simulations of atmospheric glories. Comparison of such simulations with images of real glories suggests that most glories are caused by spherical water droplets with radii between 4 and 25 microm. This paper also examines the appearance of glories taking into account the size of the droplets and the width of the droplet size distributions. Simulation...
متن کاملNoncircular glories and their relationship to cloud droplet size.
The atmospheric glory caused by backscattering of sunlight from clouds usually has circular colored rings. However, glories with noncircular rings are frequently observed, especially along the edges of clouds. Noting that the angular radius of the rings of glories is a sensitive indicator of the size of the water droplets in clouds, several images of glories have been examined in an attempt to ...
متن کاملSimulation of rainbows, coronas, and glories by use of Mie theory.
Mie theory offers an exact solution to the problem of scattering of sunlight by spherical drops of water. Until recently, most applications of Mie theory to scattering of light were restricted to a single wavelength. Mie theory can now be used on modern personal computers to produce full-color simulations of atmospheric optical effects, such as rainbows, coronas, and glories. Comparison of such...
متن کاملEffects of refractive index on glories.
Atmospheric glories are caused by backscattering of sunlight from spherical droplets of water (e.g., from fog or clouds). But what would glories look like if they were caused by scattering from more exotic substances, such as clouds of ethane as found on Titan? Examining backscattering as a function of the refractive index n of spherical droplets leads to the surprising conclusion that a glory'...
متن کاملSimulating glories and cloudbows in color.
Glories and cloudbows are simulated in color by use of the Mie scattering theory of light upwelling from small-droplet clouds of finite optical thickness embedded in a Rayleigh scattering atmosphere. Glories are generally more distinct for clouds of droplets of as much as approximately 10 microm in radius. As droplet radius increases, the glory shrinks and becomes less prominent, whereas the cl...
