Abstract:
Flow experiments in growing protein crystals were conducted to clarify the influence of the solution flow on the crystal quality. Lysozyme crystals grown under various flow velocities were analyzed by using synchrotron radiation to assess the quality. As a result, the crystals grown under forced flow were of better quality than those grown in quiescent conditions.
