Biomolecular Crystallography

• Written as a textbook for graduate-level courses and one-source manual for students and practitioners in crystallography, structural biology, and structural bioinformatics.
• Handsomely illustrated in full-color by the author, over 450 modern graphs and figures are used to explain complex subjects and draw from current examples in theliterature.
• Presents a problems-oriented, hypothesis driven approach.
• Addresses the needs of structural biologists by describing the necessary mathematical and physical concepts in an accessible, familiar language without neglecting accuracy.
• Contains numerous examples with a focus on drug target structures.

"Over the past 34 years Louise and I have often discussed the possibility of updating [Protein Crystallography]....However, this marvelous text by Bernhard Rupp provides everything that we could have done and more: indeed all that is required for the student of 2010. Biomolecular Crystallography is an impressive volume. Its 808 pages are beautifully written and wonderfully illustrated, many in colour....This book will be an essential part of the library of any department that claims to make contributions to modern biology....[and] a necessary addition also to the libraries of big pharmaceutical companies and small biotechs. This is a book to be enjoyed by all who wish to become structural biologists. I am also sure that many practicing structural biologists - even some who consider themselves mature - would do well to read its pages." - Tom Blundell, Journal of Applied Crystallography

"It is a masterpiece. It is the book which the MX community has been waiting for and it is an absolute must-have for everybody in the field." - Acta Crystallographica
