Features: This book elaborates on the general principles of X-ray crystallography of biomacromolecules and the achievements in the analysis of their crystal structures. The book is divided into two parts. The first part introduces the cultivation of biomacromolecule crystals, the common characteristics of biomacromolecule crystal structures, the general features of biomacromolecule fiber diagrams, and the basic concepts and methods of determining crystal structures using X-ray diffraction. The second part separately introduces the crystal structure analysis and achievements of important biomacromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, nucleosomes, and polysaccharides, with a focus on describing the structural features and patterns of various biomacromolecules. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for undergraduate and graduate students in biology, chemistry, and related fields, as well as for reference by relevant scientific workers.
