Abstract Chemically modified cellulose microbeads are useful as cosmetic materials. Cellulose microbeads as supports, prepared by a viscose‐phase‐separation method, are monodisperse and spherical. However, cellulose shows only slight hydrophilicity, even though it has three hydroxyl groups per pyranose ring, because c…

Limited experimental resolution is a unavoidable feature in macromolecular crystallography: it may hinder or make difficult the determination of the crystal structure. A novel procedure is presented which from an approximate electron-density map extrapolates the moduli and phases of non-measured reflections beyond and…
