The ultimate protein crystallographer's companion 

Ever despaired as a practicing structural biologist turned crystallographer about texts that were either too technical, not technical enough, or did not have any relevance to how things are done in practice? Here is the solution: A text written by a an experienced academic teacher with ample of routine in the grunt work of structure determination and analysis. Many applications and examples ranging from fundamental biochemical questions to structure based drug discovery. Read the reviews below.

The book follows the recommended curriculum established by the US National Academies Committee for Crystallography - BR is a panel member of this committee.
