Publications - Ronald C. Hamlin

Only the papers having to do with development of X-ray instrumentation are listed. Abstracts are omitted.

Approximately 15 other articles reporting X-ray crystallographic protein structures are also omitted. I was included as an author on these structure articles only because of my involvement in collecting the X-ray diffraction data at the University of California, San Diego NIH Research Resource Facility.

"Dihydrofolate Reductase: X-ray Structure of the Binary Complex with Methotrexate." Science 197:452-456 (1977). This was the very first new protein structure ever solved with data from an area detector. Initial phasing was MIR.
