Understanding the fabric of protein crystals: computational classification of biological interfaces and crystal contacts
2015
Bioinformatics
Since the mid-1990s, several approaches have been applied to obtain high-accuracy classification of crystal contacts and biological protein-protein interfaces. ...
A key issue linked to protein interface classification is the identification of the biological assembly of a crystal structure and the analysis of its symmetry. ...

Introduction to protein crystallization
2004
Methods
The crystallization of proteins, nucleic acids and large biological complexes, such as viruses, depends on the creation of a solution that is supersaturated in the macromolecule but exhibits conditions ...
Protein crystallization was discovered by chance about 150 years ago and was developed in the late 19th century as a powerful purification tool and as a demonstration of chemical purity. ...
In these cases the antibody fragment enhanced the solubility of the otherwise insoluble protein and provided additional lattice contacts in the resultant crystals. ...
