Tag: Crystallography

For most proteins that have had their structure determined, this has been done using protein crystallography. When the macromolecular structure of a protein is determined in this way, it is firstly crystalized by supersaturation, which causes each protein molecule to stack with its neighbors in a repeating pattern. The sample then undergoes x-ray crystallography, which

The isolation of DNA was successfully carried out in 1869. However, its sequencing had to wait until the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003, more than a hundred years later. vitstudio | Shutterstock Modern genomics dates back to the 1970s, but its foundation was laid at least twenty years before this, with the creation
