AW: [o-info] How to figure the spiral-like packing?

Alexander.Pautsch@bc.boehringer-ingelheim.com

Hi Guan,
there are some publications which deal with supermolecular assemblies as
deduced from crystal packing. Seee for example Hansen et al. (1997)
Structure 5, 1109 . or Wild et al., (1997) Eur. J. Biochem 250, 326. But
beware not to simply mix crystal packing and biological relevance.

Best wishes
