Booknews
Explains to graduate students and researchers several popular methods for investigating the structure of proteins using crystallography, including examples of actual experiments and date, electron density maps, computer methods, and samples of computer codes. Not a compendium of every known method, but a collection of those with broad applications and that do not require a high degree of sophistication or extensive equipment. Annotation c.
