Microcrystal Electron Diffraction (MicroED) is a cutting-edge technique that allows scientists to determine the atomic structures of proteins and small molecules using standard Transmission Electron ...

Electron diffraction methods have emerged as powerful tools for elucidating the atomic structures of a wide range of materials. Among these methods, cryo‐electron microscopy and microcrystal electron ...

CAMBRIDGE July 13, 2021 - To date, solving structures of potential therapeutics using X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been an assumed, pivotal step in the drug development process. But a recent paper by a ...

Scientists, including Dr. Michael Martynowycz, who is now part of UB-HWI, have developed a new, detailed guide to help researchers study the tiniest crystals using a technique called Microcrystal ...

More than 60% of drugs are derived from natural products—chemicals made by living organisms like bacteria, fungi, and plants. But identifying and characterizing biologically active molecules in the ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.
