While the drug pipeline narrows, pharmaceutical companies are broadening their options by ruling nothing out. Protein crystallization technology is proving to be a ...

For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

Microgravity offers a disruptive environment for drug discovery by removing convection and sedimentation. This enables higher-quality protein crystals, more physiologically relevant 3D cell cultures, ...

A Crystallographer's Little Helper Creating a protein crystal structure diagram from raw X-ray diffraction data is a labor-intensive task that can take weeks to months.

Immobilizing small synthetic molecules inside protein crystals proves to be a promising avenue for studying intermediate compounds formed during chemical reactions, scientists report. By integrating ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...
