Enhancing protein crystallization through precipitant synergy.
Suitable conditions for protein crystallization are commonly identified by screening combinations of independent factors that affect crystal formation. Because precipitating agents are prime determinants of crystallization, we investigated whether a systematic exploration of combinations of mechanistically distinct precipitants would enhance crystallization. A crystallization screen containing ...
متن کاملEnhancing drop stability in protein crystallization by chemical patterning.
The motion of protein drops on crystallization media during routine handling is a major factor affecting the reproducibility of crystallization conditions. Drop stability can be enhanced by chemical patterning to more effectively pin the drop's contact line. As an example, a hydrophilic area is patterned on an initially flat hydrophobic glass slide. The drop remains confined to the hydrophilic ...
متن کاملMicrofluidics for Protein Crystallization
We employ the PhaseChip, a (poly)dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic device, for statistical studies of protein crystal nucleation. The PhaseChip is designed to decouple nucleation and growth of protein crystals and so improve their yield and quality. Two layers of fluidic channels containing salt reservoirs and nanoliter-sized wells for protein drops in oil are separated by a thin PDMS membra...
متن کاملDesiccant Dehumidification Analysis
Desiccant dehumidification has been given increasing interest in the air conditioning industry. Compared with conventional vapor compression air conditioning systems, desiccant dehumidification saves energy by separating humidity control from temperature control and also improves the indoor air quality as a good filter. This research explores the potential of applying desiccant dehumidification...
متن کاملProtein crystallization
This essay is about the crystallization of proteins. Since the first published observation of crystallizing proteins about 160 years ago, protein crystal growth has developed into an extensive research field with many applications, for instance in the pharmaceutical industry. In this report, an overview of the unique physical-chemical characteristics of protein molecules, their properties in so...
