Protein/macromolecular crystallography
This technique employs single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) to unambiguously determine the three dimensional structure of large biological molecules. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology researchers need to understand how disease is controlled at the molecular level within proteins and related macromolecules so as to target specific entities based on this knowledge. A prerequisite for this approach is the ability to obtain a high-resolution 3D molecular structure of the macromolecule under investigation. Given the importance of this research, Rigaku has been at the forefront in the development of a wide range of instrumentation related to various aspects of macromolecular crystallography.
