Alexander McPherson will be a familiar name to those who read this blog. The Futures in Biotech interviews Alexander discusses a brief history and covers many of the basics of X-ray crystallography. The interview segues into various aspects of synchrotrons then to crystallization of Teslas and Toyota Corollas. A nice tip of the hat to all the programmers that have really help crystallography progress.

Is biochemistry the lagging field in protein crystallography? Is there an example of protein that doesn’t crystallization because it is too pure?
