A wide number of materials are able to form crystals – such as sodium chloride, diamonds, and nucleic acids. These crystals each can cause a beam of incident x-rays to diffract (x-ray diffraction) into distinct directions and by measuring the intensities and angles of the diffracted beam, the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal can be determined. This method is known as X-ray crystallography or XRC.
X-ray crystallography can be used to determine the length of chemical bonds, the size of atoms and has been used to determine the structure and function of numerous biological molecules, such as nucleic acids, vitamins, and proteins. Today, x-ray diffraction has applications in a variety of disciplines such as chemical, biochemical, material, physical, and pharmaceutical industries.
