Aaron Klug has a signature structural biology tool named after him. What is it?

  • Klug's diffraction

  • Klug's equation

  • Klug's constant

  • Klug's law

Answer

Klug's diffraction, named after the renowned crystallographer Aaron Klug, is a groundbreaking tool that revolutionized structural biology. This technique enables the determination of three-dimensional structures of biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, by analyzing the patterns produced when X-rays or electrons are diffracted by the sample.
