Summary:

This much admired book has been carefully revised to make crystallography even more accessible to readers who have no prior experience with crystallography and macromolecular models, or their mathematical foundations. It continues to provide clear, understandable descriptions of the principles of protein crystallography with abundant illustrations and stereo images (in full color). Coverage extends to X-ray, neutron, electron, and Laue diffraction methods, as well as NMR spectroscopy and homology modeling.
