A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic ...

However, they are difficult to analyze. Now, Tokyo Tech researchers have addressed this issue with a novel pipeline that enables a rapid crystal structure analysis of IDPs via a cell-free protein ...

Project leader Professor Yoichi Murakami commented, "Although that structure was anticipated when I first looked at the layered morphology, I was excited when the results of the single-crystal X ...

Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal. According to diffraction ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new ...

We describe here the crystal structure of BoNT/A and then use this structural information to address some of these mechanistic questions. The binding domain, with overall dimensions of 32 Å × 37 ...

While the contacts are crystallographically well defined, the possibility that the observed conformation of these residues reflects crystal packing constraints, and an alternate structure exists ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing ...
