The proteome remains a mysterious realm. Researchers have determined the structures of only a small fraction of the proteins encoded by the human genome. Crystallography continues to be the primary method used to determine the structures of the remaining unknown proteins. This imaging technique uses the diffraction of X-rays to determine a protein’s three-dimensional molecular structure. Drawing on years of research and teaching experience, Eaton E. Lattman and Patrick J. Loll use clear examples and abundant illustrations to provide a concise and accessible primer on protein crystallography. Discussing the basics of diffraction, the behavior of two- and three-dimensional crystals, phase determination (including MIR and MAD phasing and molecular replacement), the Patterson function, and refinement, Lattman and Loll provide a complete overview of this important technique, illuminated by physical insights. The crisp writing style and simple illustrations will provide beginner crystallographers with a guide to the process of unraveling protein structure.

New textbooks at all levels of chemistry appear with great regularity. Some fields such as basic biochemistry, organic reaction mechanisms, and chemical thermodynamics are well represented by many excellent texts, and new or revised editions are published sufficiently often to keep up with progress in research. However, some areas of chemistry, especially many of those taught at the graduate level, suffer from a real lack of up to-date textbooks. The most serious needs occur in fields that are rapidly changing. Textbooks in these subjects usually have to be written by scientists actually involved in the research that is advancing the field. It is not often easy to persuade such individuals to set time aside to help spread the knowledge they have accumulated. Our goal, in this series, is to pinpoint areas of chemistry where recent progress has outpaced what is covered in any available textbooks, and then seek out and persuade experts in these fields to produce relatively concise but instructive intro ductions to their fields. These should serve the needs of one-semester or one-quarter graduate courses in chemistry and biochemistry. In some cases, the availability of texts in active research areas should help stimulate the creation of new courses. Charles R. Cantor v Preface to the Second Edition Since the publication of the previous edition in 1994, X-ray crystallography of proteins has advanced by improvements in existing techniques and by addition of new techniques.

Crystal growth is the key step of a great number of very important applications. The development of new devices and products, from the traditional microelectronic industry to pharmaceutical industry and many others, depends on crystallization processes. The objective of this book is not to cover all areas of crystal growth but just present, as specified in the title, important selected topics, as applied to organic and inorganic systems. All authors have been selected for being key researchers in their field of specialization, working in important universities and research labs around the world. The first section is mainly devoted to biological systems and covers topics like proteins, bone and ice crystallization. The second section brings some applications to inorganic systems and describes more general growth techniques like chemical vapor crystallization and electrodeposition. This book is mostly recommended for students working in the field of crystal growth and for scientists and engineers in the fields of crystalline materials, crystal engineering and the industrial applications of crystallization processes.

This book reviews current techniques used in membrane protein structural biology, with a strong focus on practical issues. The study of membrane protein structures not only provides a basic understanding of life at the molecular level but also helps in the rational and targeted design of new drugs with reduced side effects. Today, about 60% of the commercially available drugs target membrane proteins and it is estimated that nearly 30% of proteins encoded in the human genome are membrane proteins. In recent years much effort has been put towards innovative developments to overcome the numerous obstacles associated with the structure determination of membrane proteins. This book reviews a variety of recent techniques that are essential to any modern researcher in the field of membrane protein structural biology. The topics that are discussed are not commonly found in textbooks. The scope of this book includes: Expression screening using fluorescent proteins The use of detergents in membrane protein research The use of NMR Synchrotron developments in membrane protein structural biology Visualisation and X-ray data collection of microcrystals X-ray diffraction data analysis from multiple crystals Serial millisecond crystallography Serial femtosecond crystallography Membrane protein structures in drug discovery The information provided in this book should be of interest to anyone working in the area of structural biology. Students will find carefully prepared overviews of basic ideas and advanced protein scientists will find the level of detail required to apply the material directly to their day to day work. Chapters 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 of this book are published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

This extensively illustrated book by Alexander McPherson, a master practitioner, accomplishes several important goals: it presents the underlying physical and chemical principles of crystallization in an approachable way; it provides the reader with a biochemical context in which to understand and pursue successful crystal growth; it instructs the reader in practical aspects of the technologies required; and it lays out effective strategies for success that investigators can readily apply to their own experimental questions. This readable volume has been created for every investigator in biomedicine whose studies may require a shift in focus from gene to protein product, as well as chemists and physicists interested in the functions of biologically active macromolecules.

This unique text/reference presents an overview of the computational aspects of protein crystallization, describing how to build robotic high-throughput and crystallization analysis systems. The coverage encompasses the complete data analysis cycle, including the set-up of screens by analyzing prior crystallization trials, the classification of crystallization trial images by effective feature extraction, the analysis of crystal growth in time series images, the segmentation of crystal regions in images, the application of focal stacking methods for crystallization images, and the visualization of trials. Topics and features: describes the fundamentals of protein crystallization, and the scoring and categorization of crystallization image trials; introduces a selection of computational methods for protein crystallization screening, and the hardware and software architecture for a basic high-throughput system; presents an overview of the image features used in protein crystallization classification, and a spatio-temporal analysis of protein crystal growth; examines focal stacking techniques to avoid blurred crystallization images, and different thresholding methods for binarization or segmentation; discusses visualization methods and software for protein crystallization analysis, and reviews alternative methods to X-ray diffraction for obtaining structural information; provides an overview of the current challenges and potential future trends in protein crystallization. This interdisciplinary work serves as an essential reference on the computational and data analytics components of protein crystallization for the structural biology community, in addition to computer scientists wishing to enter the field of protein crystallization.
