- The first practical reference book that covers both conventional and high-throughput methods, ranging from cloning and crystallisation to refinement and modelling
- Chapters written by an international team of experts from the field of macromolecular crystallography
- A rapidly expanding and developing field in both academia and industry, mainly due to the recent explosion in structural genome research.
- Includes applications such as drug design.
Macromolecular Crystallography is the study of macromolecules (proteins and nucleic acids) using X-ray crystallographic techniques in order to determine their molecular structure. The knowledge of accurate molecular structures is a pre-requisite for rational drug design, and for structure-based function studies to aid the development of effective therapeutic agents and drugs.
The successful determination of the complete genome (genetic sequence) of several species (including humans) has recently directed scientific attention towards identifying the structure and function of the complete complement of proteins that make up that species; a new and rapidly growing
field of study called 'structural genomics'. There are now several important and well-funded global initiatives in operation to identify all of the proteins of key model species. One of the main requirements for these initiatives is a high-throughput crystallization facility to speed-up the protein identification process. The extent to which these technologies have advanced, calls for an updated review of current crystallographic theory and practice.
This practical reference book features the latest conventional and high-throughput methods, and includes contributions from a team of internationally recognized leaders and experts. It will be of relevance and use to graduate students, research scientists and professionals currently working in the field of conventional and
high-throughput macromolecular crystallography.Readership: Research scientists, graduate students and professionals currently working with, or interested in working in the field of conventional and high-throughput macromolecular crystallography.

"it is more than successful, and most, if not all, who dip into it will be rewarded by learning things they did not know, or possibly had forgotten...[..] a book that will surely find its place in every crystallographic lab whether protein or macromolecular." - Lindsay Sawyer, Crystallography News
