Crystallography, NMR and Simulation Reveal Movement of Molecules within Crystals

X-ray crystallography reveals the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, thus making it possible to understand how it works and potentially use this knowledge to subsequently modulate its activity, especially for therapeutic or biotechnological purposes. For the first time, a study has shown that residual movements continue to animate proteins inside a crystal and that this movement "blurs" the structures obtained via crystallography.

Latest Contact Lens Technology Presented at American Academy of Optometry Conference

For years, millions of contact lens wearers have compromised by settling for 20/Happy vision; a term used to describe vision that was functional, but not 20/20. Eye Care Professionals (ECPs) have reported that 99.5% of patients experience at least one area of compromise with vision using today’s multifocal contact lenses.1 Research is now showing that new advances in contact lens technology are helping by providing the vision and stereoacuity (depth perception) patients want.
