{"product_id":"crystal-structure-analysis-for-chemists-and-biologists","title":"Crystal Structure Analysis for Chemists and Biologists","description":"The fields of structural chemistry and biochemistry have blossomed in the last seventy years since X-ray diffraction was discovered in 1912. Dorothy Hodgkin, who obtained a Nobel Prize in 1965 for her X-ray diffraction work wrote 'a great advantage of X-ray analysis as a method of chemical structure analysis is its power to show some totally unexpected and surprising structure with, at the same time, complete certainty.' The results of all X-ray diffraction studies are used by chemists and buiochemists but these scientists need to be able to appreciate the significance and extent to which these results may be used.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A number of books written for practicing crystallographers cover the theory and applications of X-ray diffraction, but few are of real practical use to non-specialists. In 'Crystal Structure Analysis for Biologists and Chemists', the general principles of crystal structure are presented in a highly readable way. The book of Glusker, who is internationally renowned, provides good coverage of theory, including data and understanding their significance.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54241526088024,"sku":"9780471185437","price":288.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780471185437.jpg?v=1778581813","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/crystal-structure-analysis-for-chemists-and-biologists","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
