The structure determination of a giant supramolecular host-guest complex

The structure of a giant supramolecular host-guest complex can be determined as if it is a usual small molecule. The complex presented here gives weak diffraction in the high angle region due to its disordered side chains and crystallization solvents. However, a noiseless, high dynamic range detector, HyPix-6000HE, affords excellent diffraction data in the whole observation range.
