Synchrotron Radiation in Structural Biology

The development of synchrotron radiation (SR) as a research tool was driven largely by the needs of materials scientists and solid-state physi- cists. However, the availability of SR has extended significantly the capa bility of scientists who study biological structure with radiation. This volume contains some of the results reported at a symposium held at Brookhaven National Laboratory in May 1988 to discuss the application of synchrotron radiation to structural biology. We are grateful f...
