Abstract

Since the mid 1930's crystallographers have studied the structures of the important biological polymers: proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. The first 3D structure, myoglobin, was solved by multiple isomorphous replacement (MIR) in 1957. Today we know the structure of over 200 proteins and the list is growing rapidly. Molecular biologists' efforts in obtaining and crystallising proteins have been much more fruitful than their efforts on nucleic acids, mostly because proteins are much more plentiful. There are currently less than twenty single-crystal DNA structures known and a similar number of RNA structures.
