Dorothy Hodgkin, who obtained a Nobel Prize in 1965 for her X-ray diffraction work wrote 'a great advantage of X-ray analysis as a method of chemical structure analysis is its power to show some totally unexpected and surprising structure with, at the same time, complete certainty.' The results of all X-ray diffraction studies are used by chemists and buiochemists but these scientists need to be able to appreciate the significance and extent to which these results may be used.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A number of books written for practicing crystallographers cover the theory and applications of X-ray diffraction, but few are of real practical use to non-specialists. In 'Crystal Structure Analysis for Biologists and Chemists', the general principles of crystal structure are presented in a highly readable way. The book of Glusker, who is internationally renowned, provides good coverage of theory, including data and understanding their significance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-VCH","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45200909107351,"sku":"9780471185437","price":17901.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780471185437.webp?v=1767667743","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/crystal-structure-analysis-for-chemists-and-biologists-9780471185437","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
