This booth illustrated, in brief, the development of X-Ray Crystallography and milestones reached over the years.
Angela Criswell, Rigaku Corporation, and her team helped students learn about growing crystals and then viewing them under a microscope. This booth featured the Rigaku Alchemist, an automated system for high-throughput crystal growing.
Jim Clarage, University of St. Thomas, lead the students through the concepts of light diffraction that lead to the unique patterns created during X-ray diffraction during crystallographic discovery.
To understand the 3D structure of proteins, students used paper models to build a 3D representation of protein structures.
George Phillips and his team helped students visualize and understand in 3D the structure of proteins and implications of these unique structures.
. BVV Prasad from the Baylor College of Medicine, showed the students through interactive modules to introduce students to the software and how new information can be gleaned from these tools.
