What is a crystal?
11
diamond
salt
Molecules arranged in a 3D lattice, usually having space group symmetry.One lattice unit is called a “unit cell”.
![Page 12: Protein Structure Determination - Rensselaer … · Gale Rhodes “Crystallography Made Crystal Clear” 3rd Ed. Academic Press graph paper straight edge protractor compass ... Branden](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021718/5b94e88109d3f2130d8db9b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is symmetry?
An object or function is symmetrical if a spatial transformation of it looks identical to the original.
X
XThis is an X This is an X
rotated by 180°
Can you see the difference? If not, then the letter is symmetric. If the difference are subtle, then it is pseudo-symmetric.

Why is symmetry essential in crystallography?
ªUnderstanding crystal packing. ªSolving for where the heavy atoms are. ªKnowing the number and arrangement of
molecules in the unit cell. ªProper indexing of the Xray data.

The coordinate system is composed of three vectors, a, b and c.
Not necessary orthogonal!

The crystallographic coordinate system is called fractional coordinates
If (x,y,z) is a point in fractional coordinates, then the location in orthogonal Å coordinates (Cartesian) is
p = xa+yb+zc.

The part of the unit cell that has all unique contents is the asymmetric unit
Applying symmetry to the asymmetric unit generates the unit cell.

Example: a 180° rotation. Remember to multiply "row times column"
(-x,-y,z) is rotated 180° around the origin.
Example: (1.50, 2.20, 5.00) and (-1.50, -2.20, 5.00)
What axis did I rotate around?

centric symmetry Protein crystals don’t have it.
Centric symmetry operators invert the image of he object. Examples of centric operators:
mirrors, glide planes, points of inversion
Inverted images cannot be created by pure rotations.
Centric operations would change the chirality of chiral centers such as the alpha-carbon of amino acids or the ribosal carbons of RNA or DNA.
