Published 10/19/2024 XRC diffraction spots are in {{c1::reciprocal space}}
Published 10/19/2024 XRC diffraction spots are the result of {{c1::complex wave interactions}} from all atoms in the crystal 
Published 10/19/2024 {{c1::macromolecules}} in a {{c1::crystal lattice}} are far more complex than a sphere of mirrors 
Published 10/19/2024 Macromoleulces have light "reflecting" planes of matter called {{c1::Bragg planes}}
Published 10/19/2024 The spots from {{c1::crystal matter planes}} can be used to back calculate {{c2::electron density}} that causes the spots
Published 10/19/2024 If we know {{c2::electro density}}, we have the {{c1::structural model }}
Published 10/19/2024 hi {{c1::timing-leopard-india-pennsylvania-oregon-virginia}}
Published 10/19/2024 Enzymes in crystals are generally still {{c1::active}}, but their {{c1::kinetics}} are slowed
Published 10/19/2024 We are able to determine {{c2::dynamics/mechanism}} from {{c1::XRC}}
Published 10/19/2024 For NMR, need an {{c2::odd}} number of {{c1::nucleons}}
Published 10/19/2024 {{c1::Nucleon}}: proton or nuetron 
Published 10/19/2024 Need to feed organism an odd number like {{c1::carbon-13::carbon what}} to see on NMR
Published 10/19/2024 Precession is always {{c1::constant}} 
New Card 10/15/2024 hello this is {{c1::your mom}}
Removal Requested 10/19/2024 your mom {{c1::meeps}} 
Published 10/19/2024 {{c1::Perturbation}} causes the precession to wobble and in the case of nuclear spin, even {{c2::invert}} 
Published 10/19/2024 Plotted in 2D, this is called the {{c1::free induction decay (FID)}}
Published 10/19/2024 The {{c1::fourier transform}} of the FID converts the specttrum from the {{c2::time}} domain to the {{c2::frequency}} domain, and yields {{c3::intepre…
Published 10/19/2024 Fourier transform is a form of calculus that {{c1::inverts the units}}
Published 10/19/2024 Signal to noise improvement through {{c1::wave addition }}
Published 10/19/2024 Noise is {{c1::random}} and therefore {{c2::cancels}}, signal is {{c1::consistent}} and therefore {{c2::additive}} 
Published 10/19/2024 Computational models are getting more and more {{c1::reliable}} 
Published 10/19/2024 Strengths of XRC: Can take as little as {{c1::2-3}} weeks Very high {{c1::resolution}} structures are possible {{c1::De novo}} method&n…
Published 10/19/2024 Weaknesses of XRC: Takes a lot of training {{c1::Insoluble}} proteins are hard to crystallize {{c1::Dynamics}} not always possible&nbsp…
Published 10/19/2024 The crystal is used as an {{c1::amplification}} device. 
Published 10/19/2024 Much of the XRC data is {{c1::occluded}}. 
Published 10/19/2024 Macromolecular crystal growth is a slow, controlled {{c1::precipitation}} under {{c1::aqueous}} conditions that do not denature proteins. 
Published 10/19/2024 {{c1::Precipitants}} for crystal creation are {{c2::ionic salts}} and {{c2::organic solvents}} like PEGs
Published 10/19/2024 {{c1::Vapor diffusion}} is a popular setup for protein crystallization
Published 10/19/2024 For any given positioning of a crystal in the x-ray beam, many {{c1::Bragg planes}} are reflecting beams. This is why any given 2D image has many spot…
Published 10/19/2024 {{c1::Bragg's Law}}: x-rays diffract around planes of matter in the crystal. 
Published 10/19/2024 Bragg’s Law can be explained in terms of trigonometry and {{c1::wave interference (destructive and constructive)}}. nλ = {{c2::2d(sinθ)}}
Published 10/19/2024 The single object defines a continuous background heat map. The {{c1::crystal lattice}} imposes the “spots” through which the continuous background he…
