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 growth of biomacromolecule crystals, the common characteristics of biomacromolecule crystals, and the basic concepts and methods of determining crystal structures using X-ray diffraction. The second part 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 biomacromolecules. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for undergraduate and graduate students in biology, chemistry, and related fields, and can also be used as a reference for relevant scientific workers.
