Protein Crystallization

X-ray crystallography is currently the most favored method for structural determination of proteins and other macromolecules. The requisite for a successful X-ray crystallographic application is to obtain single crystals of the target protein. Data is then collected by diffracting X-ray from the single crystal that has an ordered pattern of atomic orientation. The assembly of atoms and molecules in the crystal can be deduced from the measurement of Xray scattering. At present, more than 120,000 protein structures resolved by X-Ray crystallography experiments have been deposited in protein databank, accounting for nearly 90% of the resolved proteins, suggesting a predominant popularity of X-Ray crystallography in structural determination. https://www.creative-biostructure.com/protein-crystallization_26.htm
