Question
Chapter 3, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the structure of the protein-containing domains is divided by flexible linker areas can be relatively problematic to resolve by X-ray crystallographic techniques should be determined. The feasible experimental methods to avoid this barrier should be determined.
Concept introduction:
X-ray crystallography or XRC is a method that is used for identifying the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. In this technique, the crystalline structure leads to an incident beam of X-rays to spread into many definite directions.
