Subject: Fwd: Re: [ccp4bb] Protein powder diffraction


>Dear Marius,

>One of our most recent results is related to the structure solution and

>Margiolaki, I., Wright, J. P., Wilmanns, M., Fitch, A. N. & Pinotsis, N.
>(2007). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 129, 11865 11871.

>A very early example where several different crystalline proteins were

>Wyckoff, R. W. G. & Corey, R. B. (1936). J. Biol. Chem. 116, 51 55.

>A lot of work has been done by Bob Von Dreele with a series of
>publications and a review: Von Dreele, R. B. (2003). Methods Enzymol. 368,
>254 267.

>Our group at the ESRF has been working in this area and a related review

>Different groups have been working on the optimisation of data collection
