Features: This book elaborates on the general principles of X-ray crystallography of biomolecules and the achievements in the analysis of the crystal structures of biomolecules. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 introduces the growth of biomolecule crystals, the common characteristics of biomolecule crystal structures, and the basic concepts and methods of determining crystal structures using X-ray diffraction. Part 2 separately introduces the crystal structure analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, nucleosomes, ribosomes, and glycodisaccharides, as well as the achievements obtained, with a focus on describing the structural characteristics and patterns of various biomolecules. This book can serve as a textbook or reference book for undergraduate and graduate students in biology, chemistry, and related fields, and can also be used as a reference for relevant scientific workers.
