Development of Crystallization Strategies Using the Biological Macromolecule Crystallization Database
The NIST/NASA/CARB Biological Macromolecule studies requires not only finding suitable chemical agents Crystallization Database (BMCD) contains crystal data that induce and sustain crystal growth but also that those and crystallization conditions for biological parameters such as protein concentration, ionic strength, macromolecules abstracted from the literature. Each temperature, pH, etc., be...
متن کاملInduction of Rules for Biological Macromolecule Crystallization
X-ray crystallography is the method of choice for determlning the 3-D structure of large macromolecules at a high enough resolution. The rate limiting step in structure determination is the crystallization itself. It takes anywhere between a few weeks to several years to obtain macromolecuiar crystals that yield good diffraction patterns. The theory of forces that promote and maintain crystal g...
متن کاملAn Overview of Biological Macromolecule Crystallization
The elucidation of the three dimensional structure of biological macromolecules has provided an important contribution to our current understanding of many basic mechanisms involved in life processes. This enormous impact largely results from the ability of X-ray crystallography to provide accurate structural details at atomic resolution that are a prerequisite for a deeper insight on the way i...
متن کاملFluorescence anisotropy imaging microscopy
We constructed an optical system and developed the software to create and analyze the fluorescence anisotropy images of a variety of objects including single molecules, quantum dots, proteins, nucleic acids and cells. The system includes an inverted microscope, three calcite prisms (CPs) inserted in the excitation and emission optical paths, and CCD camera. The system allows to record dynamic c...
متن کاملCorrelation between Protein Sequence Similarity and Crystallization Reagents in the Biological Macromolecule Crystallization Database
The protein structural entries grew far slower than the sequence entries. This is partly due to the bottleneck in obtaining diffraction quality protein crystals for structural determination using X-ray crystallography. The first step to achieve protein crystallization is to find out suitable chemical reagents. However, it is not an easy task. Exhausting trial and error tests of numerous combina...
