Synopsis

The papers presented in this volume report the striking progress X-ray diffraction has facilitated in the study of structural molecular biology. Coupled with the revival of the Laue method, the advent of high-intensity synchrotron radiation sources has made possible the rapid collection of X-ray crystallography data, thereby allowing protein and virus crystallography to progress from studies of equilibrium structures to time-resolved studies of structures at reaction stages. The book also details the many recent technological developments in physics, chemistry and biochemistry that have been critical for the full exploitation of the synchrotron Laue method in the study of dynamic events in crystals. Necessary future developments are discussed.

Review:

'The book gives a good overview of the problems associated with this difficult but rewarding diffraction technique ... This volume will be of great help to a macromolecular crystallographer with an enzyme system of potential interest for time-resolved studies. The pioneering work of the
authors will enable the crystallographer unfamiliar with the field to learn about the pitfalls and problems of the technique. The book should serve as a good reference source for much of the ground-breaking theoretical work that made the Royal Society meeting possible.'
