Advanced X-ray crystallography determines structure of macromolecule at unprecedented resolution

Proteins are high-performance molecular machines that carry out nearly every biochemical function inside living cells. To understand how they achieve this, scientists often examine their detailed atomic structure, which holds important clues to their activity. The more precision they achieve, the deeper the insight they may gain into the chemical principles that underlie protein structure and, ultimately, function.
