- The ideal primer for anyone new to the technique.
- Emphasis on active learning draws upon self-test tutorial-style exercises and hands-on activities, and the coupling of clear text and illustrations, to motivate and engage the reader.
- Avoids excessive mathematical detail, focusing instead on the key concepts to recognize the mathematical processing now performed by computer.
- Encompasses aspects of both small molecule and macromolecular crystallography, highlighting the similarities and differences between the two.
- Explores both the theoretical principles on which the technique is based, and the practice of gathering and analysing crystallographic data to give a balanced, well-rounded account of the field.
- The Online Resource Centre features additional resources for both lecturers and students, enhancing the educational value of the text.
X-ray crystallography has long been a powerful tool in the elucidation of the three-dimensional structures of small molecules and macromolecules. Yet, despite its power, it is a technically challenging subject which those new to the technique often find daunting. Principles of X-ray Crystallography provides a clear, succinct guide to the three-dimensional world of molecules, which is perfect for anyone encountering the technique for the first time. Using a direct and simple writing voice, and enriching the text with real examples, diagrams, exercises, and
activities, it seeks to engage the reader in the challenge of visualizing three-dimensional structures, rather than daunting them with excessive theoretical detail. Drawing on valuable experience gained from teaching this subject to undergraduates, the author adopts a tutorial-type approach that leads the reader through key concepts in a carefully-structured and evenly-paced manner, providing the right level of detail to ensure clarity, without overwhelming them with information. With an understanding of three-dimensional structure being so central to the understanding of molecular function, Principles of X-ray Crystallography is the perfect guide for anyone needing to gain a working insight into x-ray crystallography.
Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre accompanying Principles of X-ray Crystallography features: For registered adopters of the book: · Figures from the book in electronic format, ready to download · PowerPoint slide sets for each chapter For students: · A library of annotated web links · Datasets related to topics discussed in the bookReadership: Undergraduates on chemistry and related degree programmes. Also a valuable primer for postgraduates who are being exposed to the technique for the first time.

"Principles of X-ray Crystallography would be an extremely useful text to use alongside an undergraduate course. It is reasonably priced, so would be an excellent primer to the subject for beginner postgraduate students too.
