feature articlesSmall but mighty: the power of microcrystals in structural biology
Developments in macromolecular crystallography now allow the use of microcrystals for structural analysis through advanced beamlines and techniques such as microcrystal electron diffraction and room-temperature crystallography. This review addresses methods of matching microcrystal preparation and sample delivery. The use of microcrystals enhances our possibilities in fields such as time-resolved crystallography.
research papersThe origin of synthons and supramolecular motifs: beyond atoms and functional groups
This study establishes that hydrogen, halogen and chalcogen bonding intermolecular and non-covalent intramolecular interactions are driven by a face-to-face orientation of electrophilic (charge depleted) and nucleophilic (charge concentrated) regions, being at the origin of the specific geometries found in synthons and supramolecular motifs.
research papersfeature articlesSurface analysis of cannabigerol cocrystals: linking crystal structure to enhanced properties
This study investigates the solid forms of cannabigerol and identifies two new cocrystals, showing significant improvements in physicochemical properties. The findings highlight the strong predictive capability of surface interaction parameters for aqueous dissolution, offering valuable insights for pharmaceutical development.
