If you think that elucidating the structure of NaCl is Bragg diffraction then solving the structure of the Human Insulin Receptor is called Protein Crystallography. The molecule is almost as intransigent as some people I know. Flexible and labile so pinning down the structure was not straightforward. We used specific antibodies to 'FIX' and hold the labile bits.
