✦ Synopsis
The present article illustrates how the use of electron diffraction data coupled with realistic molecular modeling can yield to unambiguous structural elucidation of linear polysaccharides in the crystalline state. The series of the original ab initio quantitative crystal structure analyses is presented, along with a description of the methods. Pertinent examples showing the unique ability and utility of electron crystallography to yield new structural insights for biologically interesting macromolecules are given.

## Abstract Aquaporins are a family of ubiquitous membrane proteins that form a pore for the permeation of water. Both electron and X‐ray crystallography played major roles in determining the atomic structures of a number of aquaporins. This review focuses on electron crystallography, and its contr
It is shown that it is possible to obtain structural information from small (`100 nm) phthalocyanine crystals by using crystallographic direct phasing methods applied to electron diffraction data. This technique is both quantitative and does not suffer from the difficulties associated with high-reso
