The mass of proteins can be determined, but also the stoichiometry of an assembly, its stability, dynamic behaviour, conformation, and topological arrangement within a complex. MS Vision has been involved in pioneering this new application field, together with a number of leading European Science (...)

The International Year of Crystallography 2014 (IYCr2014) brings to light a science which allows the detailed study of crystalline material. From crystals to biological molecules, crystallography led to multiple applications. The UN General Assembly proclaimed 2014 the International Year of Crystallography ! With 23 Nobel Prize awarded in the field , it is the most powerful instrument for studying the structure of matter. This science is ubiquitous in everyday life: pharmaceutical (...)
