Over the past 20 years a variety of technological advances in X-ray crystallography have
shortened the time required to determine the structures of large macromolecules (ie …

Density difference fluid flows and sedimentation of growing crystals are greatly reduced
when crystallization takes place in a reduced gravity environment. In the case of …

Macromolecular crystal growth is seen as an ideal experiment to make use of the reduced
acceleration environment provided by an orbiting spacecraft. The experiments are small, are …

Publisher Summary This chapter establishes a statistically viable correlation between the
available sequence of amino acids in the protein chain and the special folding of chain. This …

In 2005 we reviewed microgravity for macromolecular crystallization, four years after the final
flight of the Space Shuttle Orbiter, and five years before the first commercial flight to the …

This paper describes the fabrication of a micromachined miniaturized array of chambers in a
2-mm-thick single crystal〈 100∟ silicon substrate for the combinatorial screening of the …

For most people the Mir space station is synonymous with calamity-a fire, collision with an
unmanned Progress M-34 supply vehicle, and countless less life-threatening technical …

The physicochemical aspects of protein crystallization in reduced-gravity environments (µg)
have been investigated with the Advanced Protein Crystallization Facility during six space …
