摘要
The quality of a macromolecular crystal can be probed by combining maximum resolution of diffraction data, Bragg reflection profiles and X-ray topographs. Concerning maximum resolution, critical parameters are the overall rms displacement of atoms, which includes both dynamic and static disorder components, and the dynamic range of integrated intensities that can be achieved for given sample and experimental conditions. Bragg reflection profiles and topographs recorded with a quasi-plane wave of X-rays give a wealth of information on the domain structure and macroscopic disorder.
