Apart from the classical and standard approaches like X-ray crystallography and SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering), it has quite an extensive chapter on the most recent approach; namely, cryo Electron Microscopy. The material is partly pedagogical, allowing readers to learn the subject, including some advanced topics. The application of these techniques to a specific example (Ribonucleotide Reductase) is discussed. At the end there is a detailed Mathematical Supplement, broken into six sections, that develop (from basic principles) the various mathematical machinery needed to learn the techniques of structural biology. It elaborates on the key mathematical concepts mentioned in the various chapters. Additionally, there is a collection of Ipsita's papers highlighting her seminal contributions, especially in the data processing of cryo EM"-- UR - https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/13941#t=toc ER -
