Crystallography Made Crystal Clear

Informationen zum Autor Gale Rhodes earned a B.S. in applied mathematics at North Carolina State University, and then a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of North Carolina. He is currently a professor of chemistry at the University of Southern Maine, Portland. His main duty, and first love, is teaching undergraduate biochemistry. He has received awards for outstanding teaching at three different colleges. His best known publication is the first edition of Crystallography Made Crystal Clear, which received very complimentary reviews in several journals. He has also published three book chapters, three book reviews, and about 30 articles on diverse subjects, including research articles in biochemistry, and articles on chemistry, science, and interdisciplinary education. Klappentext This reference makes crystallography accessible to readers who have no prior knowledge of the field or its mathematical basis. This is the most comprehensive and concise reference for beginning Macromolecular crystallographers, written by a leading expert in the field. Zusammenfassung Uses visual and geometric models to help readers understand the mathematics that form the basis of x-ray crystallography. This book provides many visual and geometric models for understanding a largely mathematical method. It makes crystallography accessible to readers who have no prior knowledge of the field or its mathematical basis. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Model and Molecule2. An Overview of Protein Crystallography3.
