What the paper reports

This review connects advances in MicroED with examples spanning small molecules, peptides, and protein structures relevant to drug discovery. It explains how nanocrystalline material changes the range of accessible structural problems and surveys representative applications. The article is a guide to the evolving evidence base, rather than a new validation study or a general claim of routine success for every pharmaceutical sample.

Why this paper is included

A useful entry point for interdisciplinary readers, helping them locate primary studies and distinguish small-molecule characterization from protein–ligand structural biology.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.
