High-Resolution Protein Structures Through Macromolecular X-Ray Diffraction

X-ray crystallography provides near-atomic resolution 3D structures for targets where crystallization is achievable, complementing our cryo-EM capabilities to cover a broader range of structural biology targets.

With X-ray crystallography, our structural biologists can resolve near-atomic detail of protein-ligand interactions, supporting structure-based drug design and fragment-based screening programs.
