5105060 Crystallography 3.0 3
Description Crystallography has become an important field in scientific knowledge and technique in physics, chemistry, materials, and biology, which has been recognized by more than 20 winners of Nobel prize. In this course, we will illustrate the fundamental knowledge about crystal lattice, symmetry, atomic scattering, structure factor, and structure determination. In addition, the course also includes practices in structure determination by single crystal x-ray diffraction and powder x-ray diffraction. All fundamental knowledge and practices are mainly in small molecular cases, but part of knowledge of protein crystallography will also be included.
