Selected Aspects of Modern X-ray Structural Analysis.

The aim of the lecture is to provide the PhD students, studying at natural sciences departments, an overview of contemporary X-ray structural analysis. The presented subject is exploited in many distant areas of modern technologies, materials science, crystal engineering, organic or inorganic synthesis of new chemicals, drug design, molecular biology, etc. It becomes necessary to be familiar with its specific technical terms, power and limitations. The proposed lecture introduces selected aspects of crystallography, usually not covered in courses at lower levels of education at Gdansk University of Technology.
