History of chemistry quantum mechanics were able to predict qualitatively some chemical features for biologically relevant molecules, they were, till the end of the 20th century, more a collection of rules, observations, and recipes than rigorous ab initio quantitative methods. This heuristic approach triumphed in 1953 when James Watson and Francis Crick deduced the double helical structure of DNA by constructing models constrained by and informed by the knowledge of the chemistry of the constituent parts and the X-ray diffraction patterns obtained by Rosalind Franklin. This discovery lead to an explosion of research into the biochemistry of life. In the same year, the
X-ray crystallography polymethylcyanoacrylaon of Boin crystal parameters. Heating or burning of bones causes recognizeable changes in the bone mineral that can be detected using X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. During the first 15 minutes of heating at 500 °C or above, the bone crstals began to change. At higher temperatures, thickness and shape of crystals of bones appear stabilized, but when the samples were heated at lower temperature or for shorter period, XRD traces showed extreme changes in crystal parameters. X-ray diffraction has been demonstrated as a method for investigating the complex structure of integrated circuits. X-ray crystallography X-ray crystallography is a technique
