Crystal Quote by Anonymous

The present rate of progress [in X-ray crystallography] is determined, not so much by the lack of problems to investigate or the limited power…

A great advantage of X-ray analysis as a method of chemical structure analysis is its power to show some totally unexpected and surprising structure…

— Dorothy Hodgkin

For X-rays, the phenomenon of diffraction by crystals was a natural consequence of the idea that X-rays are waves analogous to light and differ…

Synchrotron light has revolutionized the field of protein crystallography. It has made it possible to look at much larger structures with much smaller crystals.

I first met the subject of X-ray diffraction of crystals in the pages of the book W. H. Bragg wrote for school children in…

The whole subject of the X rays is opening out wonderfully, Bragg has of course got in ahead of us, and so the credit…

In my own field, x-ray crystallography, we used to work out the structure of minerals by various dodges which we never bothered to write…

With crystals we are in a situation similar to an attempt to investigate an optical grating merely from the spectra it produces... But a…

Pauling was shocked by the freedom with which the X-ray crystallographers of the time, including particularly Astbury, played with the intimate chemical structure of…

Much of my work in biology has been driven by my early training in chemistry. When studying a new chemical compound, the first and…

This work made me more and more interested in biological matter, and I decided that I really wanted to work on the X-ray analysis…
