  Crystallography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crystallographic methods now depend on the analysis of the diffraction patterns that emerge from a sample that is targeted by a beam of some type.
Crystallographers often explicitly state the type of illumination used when referring to a method, as with the terms X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction and electron diffraction.
In many cases, an image of a microscopic object is generated by focusing the rays of the visible spectrum using a lens as in light microscopy.

 [cryst] 2 Affine crystallographic groups   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For instance, if the lower Wyckoff position consists of a space group orbit of lines (and thus the upper one of an orbit of points), the label of the connection line is the number of lines in the orbit which cross a fixed representative point of the upper Wyckoff position.

Space groups with a centered lattice are therefore given in the non-primitive basis crystallographers are used to.

 Crystallographic Topology - Lattice Complexes
All other space groups with the same lattice complex are subgroups of that characteristic space group, but not all the subgroups contain the lattice complex (i.e., being a subgroup is a necessary but not sufficient condition).
3d (#220) produces "I" when the variable x in x,x,x (i.e., on the body diagonal 3-fold axis) is set to zero since in that space group there is no fixed point at 0,0,0.
Thus the bcc rhombohedral dodecahedron coordination polyhedron (12 faces, 24 edges, 14 vertices) is not dual to the bcc truncated octahedron Dirichlet polyhedron (Loeb,1970), and it serves as a classic counterexample to the postulated duality.

 Crystallographic Topology - Cubic Groups
The 36 cubic crystallographic space groups are different from the remaining 194 space groups in that they each have body diagonal 3-fold axes arising from their tetrahedral and octahedral point groups.
The seven rhombohedral trigonal subgroups of the cubic groups are shown in the bottom row of the figure with their space group symbols and simplest lattice complex in the top row of each box.
Crystallographic color groups and the concept of antisymmetry are discussed in Appendix A. In the bicolor space groups, there are 1191 out of the total of 1651 group members that have mixed symmetry and antisymmetry group elements.

 Getting Started with the CSD - 1.3 Links Between Chemistry and Crystallography in the CSD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A crystal structure consists of a basic atomic motif that is repeated in 3D space according to the symmetry operators of the crystallographic space group.
The crystallographer determines the 3D coordinates of the atoms in this basic motif or asymmetric unit and the extended crystal structure then follows by application of the space group symmetry.
This means that the crystallographic asymmetric unit contains one half of the p-dinitrobenzene molecule and one half of the tetrathiafulvalene molecule.

 3D searching with Receptor-based queries
A major application for 3D databases is pharmacophoric searching, which finds molecules that have essential functional groups in the proper position to interact with a given receptor.
The terminal phenethyl group in enalapril presumably interacts with a lipophilic region of the ACE receptor, which was a part of the conceptual model of the enzyme developed earlier (site S1).
Therefore, we developed a 3D querying strategy that utilizes the available information from receptor-sites with bound ligands, as well as information that can be gathered from the patterns recognized from a list of known active compounds.

 PreQuest: 3D Check
Crystallographic Properties relates to the set of operations which can be performed on the structure based on the inherent geometrical and spacial information available.
It is vital that every molecule in the 3D structure matches a molecule in the 2D diagram because the Quest search for 3D geometric structures will not access the 3D co-ordinates unless the match status is "perfect match".
The 3D structure is displayed with bond types depicted as single, double, and triple lines.

It is important to note, however, that the scatterplot is derived from the raw crystallographic data rather than these parameters as additional information is required in the subsequent analysis.

 Lessons from XtalView - CCP4 3d browser.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Most 3d applications store a bricked-map on disk, with 'bricks' of contiguous density held in a contiguous block of disk.
This is less efficient with a simple 3d array than with a bricked map, since whole sections will be held rather than those protions of the section which are being viewed.
The coding is also more complex than for a simple 3d array, and non-sequantial accesses such as simple fft's will be inefficient (however a resectioning fft will be possible).

 ETH Zurich: Research Groups
The group's research focuses is on the X-ray crystallographic structures of the nucleosome core particle and the chromatosome, two sub-elements of the nucleosome, as well as crystal structures of several transcription factor protein/DNA complexes.
To explore the range of motion of motor proteins in complex with their partners, structures of each individual (not averaged) particles (a molecule or a complex of molecules) must be visualized at sufficiently high resolution.
We develop the methodology that fulfills these demands, combining two methods of 3D cryo-electron microscopy: single particle analysis and electron tomography, in order to visualize the structure of motor proteins and their complexes during dynamic motions under the condition close to in vivo.
