Title: Impact of Synchrotron Radiation on Macromolecular Crystallography: a Personal View

Journal Article · · Journal of Synchrotron Radiation

The introduction of synchrotron radiation sources almost four decades ago has led to a revolutionary change in the way that diffraction data from macromolecular crystals are being collected. Here a brief history of the development of methodologies that took advantage of the availability of synchrotron sources are presented, and some personal experiences with the utilization of synchrotrons in the early days are recalled.
