  3. Lesson Outline Contents: - JAXA PCG Experiment - Canister - JAXA PCG Operations Overview - Key points during JAXA PCG Operations - Acronyms - Appendix Page: 4 5 6 7 8 9

  4. Crystallized in ISS Crystallized on Ground Crystals of alpha-amylase and electron density map (under studying) Protein Crystallization Research Facility (PCRF) in Ryutai Rack JAXA PCG Experiment The main objective of JAXA PCG Experiment - To get the high quality protein crystals under microgravity to bring more precise protein 3 dimensional structure. Onboard outcomes from JAXA PCG experiment - Protein crystals grown in JEM Protein Crystallization Research Facility (PCRF).

  5. Canister Canister - Canister is one of PCRF Crystal Growth Cell dedicated to JAXA PCG Experiment. - Function of the Canister is to: - control temperature to keep crystallization condition.(20 degrees Celsius plus or minus 2 degrees) - Counter diffusion method is used for protein crystallization. - Many kinds of protein solutions are in a Canister. or (TBD) Canister Canisters installed in PCRF Cell Tray

  6. JAXA PCG Operations Overview Russian Crewmember Operations NASA/IP Crewmember Operations Ground Operations Prepare Canister(Start Crystallization Process)and launch it by Progress Canister Retrieval from Progress - Retrieve Canister from Progress.- Hand over Canister to NASA/IP Crewmember. Canister Installation - Install Canister into PCRF. PCRF Activation Temperature control (Experiment) PCRF Deactivation Canister Removal - Remove Canister from PCRF.- Hand over Canister to Russian Crewmember. Canister Return by Soyuz - Install Canister into Soyuz.- Return Canister to ground.
