Carrying out an optimal experiment.
Diffraction data collection is the last experimental stage in structural crystallography. It has several technical and theoretical aspects and a compromise usually has to be found between various parameters in order to achieve optimal data quality. The influence and importance of various experimental parameters and their consequences are discussed in the context of different data applications, such as molecular replacement, anomalous phasing, high-resolution refinement or searching for ligands.
