Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains many examples of how crystallography is important to chemistry and biochemistry. It explains the results of X-ray diffraction analysis of crystals for chemists and biochemists who do not conduct the studies themselves. It places X-ray diffraction in context with other methods of structural analysis, such as solution studies and molecular modelling. The language used is not overly technical, making it suitable for use as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate/graduate students taking courses in crystal structure determination.
