Over twenty years of research into the effects of radiation damage on protein structures both at room temperature and when held at cryo-temperatures has resulted in many interesting and useful observations [reviewed in 1-3] but has still not provided a full understanding of the reported phenomena.
In this talk I will attempt to summarise the current state of knowledge and highlight the challenges in developing robust metrics for characterising the rates of global and specific damage.
