Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallogrphy
today
Hi Jayashankar,
I think it is indeed very important to
understand the very basics and origins of the key concepts in crystallography.
To that effect, I found the paper 'Liking likelihood' by Airlie J.
McCoy extremely useful, as I always wanted to understand this
concept clearly. Also, the Proceedings of the CCP4 study
weekends (Acta D) have been of great help in me understanding some
key concepts. It is indeed quite exciting to be able to understand the
concepts that seem to be difficult initially.
Cheers,

You are absolutely right,
I was very
much excited and clear when I read Randy J.Read 's paper

errors.
its a must read paper for all students like
me.

To
understand the fundamentals of any discipline, I have always found it
completely worthwhile to go back to the original source, where the idea
was first discovered or presented. This is really, really valuable,
although not always possible. I wonder whether others agree with me about
this...but I feel pretty strongly about this matter. Often one can read
many reviews on some subject, which never really get to the gist of the
matter, but when one reads the original source, the subject is usually
laid out clearly because guess what: nobody knew it yet, so it had to be
explained clearly. Furthermore, one gets a sense of the excitement of
discovery, and the unsurety about some new proposed hypothesis which has
not yet become cannonized into fact. For this reason, it is sometimes even
worthwhile to saunter down to the...library!
