For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can dynamically change their conformations depending on their external environment and can, therefore, bind to different compounds. However, they are difficult ...

Serial crystallography (SX) has revolutionized structural biology by enabling high-resolution structure determination for important classes of proteins, including the study of relevant biomolecular ...

The new cell-free protein crystallization (CFPC) method includes direct protein crystallization and is a major headway in the field of structural biology. This technique will enable the analysis of ...

While the drug pipeline narrows, pharmaceutical companies are broadening their options by ruling nothing out. Protein crystallization technology is proving to be a ...

In-cell protein crystallization (ICPC) has been investigated as a technique to support the advancement of structural biology because it does not require protein purification and a complicated ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...
