IUCr 1996 Report - Int. Tables Volume F. Macromolecular Crystallography

Our goal in preparing Volume F on Macromolecular Crystallography is to produce a comprehensive, yet relatively concise, reference work for macromolecular crystallography. This first International Tables volume devoted to macromolecular crystallography is intended to complement the existing volumes. This development recognizes the increasing size and vitality of the field of macromolecular crystallography. It is hoped that this volume may be particularly useful for 10-12 years; the projected timing should not interfere with other macromolecular crystallography review volumes that are currently in preparation.

Volume F will cover the theory and practice of macromolecular crystallography with an estimated total of 650 pages. In addition, there will be surveys of the principles of macromolecular structure and of commonly used macromolecular crystallographic program systems. Approximately 100 authors have accepted invitations to write articles in a total of 27 chapters. Two advisors and an Advisory Board consisting of 27 members have assisted in the planning of the volume. An Internet site at the IUCr Offices at Chester has been set up to facilitate inter-author communication during the preparation of the volume. A CD ROM version will be produced to provide electronic access to the volume and accompanying materials.

The projected publication date is 1999.

Editors M. G. Rossmann and E. Arnold
