Martin Egli, Biochemistry, and Joel Harp, Crystallography Facility Director, have combined X-ray and neutron crystallography to investigate the mechanics of how hydration affects DNA structure. This joint approach is important as structures determined using X-rays can only resolve the water molecules as spheres of electron density around the oxygen… Read More
