Part one of two reference books for students and practitioners of macromolecular crystallography, this text explains how to solve, refine and analyze a macromolecular crystal structure. It discusses the theory and practice of growing high quality crystals; radiation sources, measuring tools, software and how to collect accurate data; and statistical foundations of phase problems along with techniques for using them effectively.
