X-ray crystallography is a highly valuable and, sometimes, essential method of analysis in chemical research. In the Kellett group, we hope to apply crystallography to our DNA targeted developmental materials to allow us to further probe binding modalities, conformational changes, structure-activity relationships and provide us with further data upon which we can base our rational design approach. One of our newest researchers, Alex Gibney travelled to the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) with Prof. Vickie McKee to visit collaborator Prof. Christine McKenzie. This trip introduced Alex to the software, equipment and methods he hopes to use in the later stages of his research. Alex would like to thank Prof. Christine McKenzie and her group for welcoming and accommodating them in Odense.
