Introduction to protein crystallization
Open accessAbstract
Biological macromolecules can be crystallized by a variety of techniques, and using a wide range of reagents which produce supersaturated mother liquors. These may, in turn, be applied under different physical conditions such as temperature. The fundamental approaches to devising successful crystallization conditions and the factors that influence them are summarized here. For the Novice, it is hoped that this brief review might serve as a useful introduction and a stepping-stone to a successful X-ray structure determination. In addition, it may provide a framework in which to place the articles that follow.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
