Interaction of B-DNA and Monovalent Cations: Theory and Practice in X-Ray Crystallography

In this thesis, fundamental questions about the nature of the solvent/counter-ion region of x-ray crystal structures are raised. The ambiguity in the identity and occupancy of the molecular and atomic species in this region is explored experimentally. Anomalous scattering is proposed as a possible...
