My into to crystallography was in an undergraduate physical chemistry lab at CCNY.

I checked 4 links at the Nature source. All of them opened to their stories, but I know if all will open without a subscription.

I earned my PhD by studying a protein that is too unstable to be crystallized. Its structure had to be deduced by other methods. Everyone in the lab got excited when someone managed to crystallize a small part of a similar protein, because it gave us clues as to the real structure of “our” protein...
