In the science of crystallography it is crucial, as it is also in many aspects of chemistry. 在结晶学科学或是化学方面更扮演关键的角色。
Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies. 真正的程序员绝不会朝9晚5的工作,如果你在早上9点看到一个程序员,那是因为他整晚没睡。
The impact of X-ray crystallography on chemistry in general and on biochemistry in particular has been enormous. X射线结晶学一般来说对化学,特别是生物化学的影响是巨大的。
crystallography
[ noun ] the branch of science that studies the formation and structure of crystals <noun.cognition>
Crystallography \Crys`tal*log"ra*phy\ (kr[i^]s"tal*l[o^]g"r[.a]*f[y^]), n. [Gr. kry`stallos crystal + -graphy: cf. F. cristallographie. See {Crystal}.] 1. The doctrine or science of crystallization, teaching the system of forms among crystals, their structure, and their methods of formation.
2. A discourse or treatise on crystallization.
The latest techniques take advantage of a process called X-ray crystallography, which enables researchers to take a three-dimensional picture of a protein.
Other companies currently in the incubator are designing drugs through X-ray crystallography, developing biomaterials to replace damaged body parts, and producing devices to measure toxicity in air.
So the design process involves an iterative cycle between computer modelling and crystallography. How will drug discovery develop in the future?
