Opis

This volume shows how X-ray crystallography was used to determine haemoglobin's complex atomic structure and to unravel the stereochemical mechanisms of its respiratory functions. It introduces isomorphous replacement with heavy atoms which led to the first protein structures and haemoglobin.
