Crystallography analysis is a highly precise structural biology technique used to determine the three-dimensional atomic structure of biomolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and protein-ligand complexes. The crystallography analysis method involves growing high-quality crystals of the target molecule, exposing them to an X-ray beam, and analyzing the resulting diffraction patterns. These patterns are mathematically interpreted to build an atomic-resolution model of the molecule, revealing intricate details of its structure, including active sites, folding patterns, and interaction interfaces. As one of the most powerful tools in structural biology, crystallography analysis provides unparalleled insights into the architecture and function of complex biological systems.

Analysis Workflow
1. Protein Crystallization
In Crystallography Analysis Service the target protein or protein-ligand complex is purified and subjected to optimized conditions to form high-quality crystals. These crystals provide an orderly, repeating molecular pattern, essential for generating accurate structural data through X-ray crystallography analysis.
2. X-ray Diffraction
The crystals are exposed to a high-intensity X-ray beam. The X-rays interact with the electron clouds of the atoms in the crystal, causing the rays to scatter and produce a diffraction pattern. These patterns encode spatial information about the atoms, serving as the foundation for Crystallography Analysis Service.
3. Data Collection
The diffraction pattern is captured by a detector, producing a series of spots representing the X-ray reflections from the crystal planes. The intensity and position of these reflections provide crucial data about the electron density of the molecule.
4. Structure Determination
Using mathematical algorithms, diffraction data are converted into an electron density map. The experts of our Crystallography Analysis Service build and refine a three-dimensional atomic model, revealing details about protein folding, ligand binding, and active site architecture.
5. Model Validation
The final 3D model undergoes rigorous validation to ensure accuracy and consistency with the original diffraction data. This step guarantees that the Crystallography Analysis Service delivers reliable structural insights, supporting drug discovery, protein engineering, and biopharmaceutical development.
