Protein crystallography
Proteomics. Researcher with an automatic X-ray crystallography machine used to study the structure of proteins. The light track shows the movement of a robot arm as it selects a sample from lower right and places it in position for crystallography at centre left. Crystallography is used to determine the three-dimensional structure of a molecule. The diffraction pattern produced as X-rays pass through a crystal reveal its structure. This work is being done at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories, California, USA. This automated protein crystallisation and crystallo- graphy process is much faster than conventional non-automated methods

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the fascinating world of protein crystallography, a crucial aspect of proteomics research. A dedicated researcher stands beside an automatic X-ray crystallography machine at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories in California, USA. This cutting-edge technology allows scientists to study the intricate structures of proteins with remarkable precision and efficiency. The image showcases a mesmerizing light track that traces the movement of a robot arm within the laboratory. With meticulous accuracy, it selects a protein sample from the lower right corner and gently positions it for crystallography at the center left. By employing crystallography techniques, researchers can unravel the three-dimensional architecture of molecules. As X-rays pass through crystals, they create diffraction patterns that unveil vital insights into their structure. This process plays a pivotal role in understanding how proteins function and interact within biological systems. This photograph highlights not only the advanced machinery but also features a female scientist who embodies dedication and expertise in her field. Her presence symbolizes inclusivity and diversity within scientific research. With its automated capabilities, this protein crystallization and crystallography system revolutionizes traditional non-automated methods by significantly reducing time requirements without compromising accuracy or reliability. Science Photo Library captures this momentous scientific endeavor beautifully while emphasizing key elements such as structural analysis, biochemical exploration, macromolecular investigations, and x-ray diffraction techniques used to decipher complex protein structures.
