3D electron diffraction (3D ED), or microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED), has become an alternative technique for determining the high-resolution crystal structures of compounds from sub-micron-sized crystals. Here, we considered l-alanine, α-glycine and urea, which are known to form good-quality crystals, and collected high-resolution 3D ED data on our in-house TEM instrument.

1. Introduction Diabetes is a widespread, chronic condition that impacts populations across the globe. In 2010, approximately 285 million adults were estimated to have diabetes. The global prevalence of diabetes is expected to continue increasing, being primarily driven by factors like aging populations and overall population growth [1]. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic anomaly characterized by elevated blood sugar levels.
