Abstract
This paper describes the study of the effects of radiation damage on t he quality of data collected from a protein crystal at 100 K. It is sh own that radiation damage causes measurable effects in the diffraction pattern. This implies that, even at liquid nitrogen temperatures, the re is a limit to the size of a crystal from which a complete data set can be collected.
