Joanna Thompson, Scientific American, 30 Mar. 2022 McCallum and colleagues employed two techniques to understand the structural-functional relationship of mutations in the Spike protein of BA.1: cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography. William A. Haseltine, Forbes, 28 Jan. 2022 Data from x-ray crystallography and cryo–electron microscopy experiments can be difficult to interpret, Baek and others say, and having a model can help.

Robert F. Service, Science | AAAS, 22 July 2021 Franklin was a brilliant scientist in her own right — a physical chemist — and rose to discover the structure of DNA through laborious investigation with X-ray crystallography. Maureen Lee Lenker, EW.com, 12 July 2021 Another technique, x-ray crystallography, has long been the gold standard for mapping individual atoms within a 3D protein structure.
