Proteins exhibit a rich phase behavior. Even omitting the amyloid structures formed after
partial protein unfolding, proteins form crystals, polymers, and other solid aggregates, as …

Density difference fluid flows and sedimentation of growing crystals are greatly reduced
when crystallization takes place in a reduced gravity environment. In the case of …

Dense liquid phases, metastable with respect to a solid phase, form in solutions of proteins
and small-molecule materials. They have been shown to serve as a prerequisite for the …

Surface morphologies of thaumatin, catalase, lysozyme and xylanase crystals were
investigated using in situ atomic force microscopy. For thaumatin, lysozyme and xylanase …

For critical tests of whether diffusion-limited kinetics is an option for the solution–solid phase
transition of molecular substances or whether they are determined exclusively by a transition …

The self-assembly of apoferritin molecules into crystals is a suitable model for protein
crystallization and aggregation; these processes underlie several biological and biomedical …

Publisher Summary This chapter establishes a statistically viable correlation between the
available sequence of amino acids in the protein chain and the special folding of chain. This …

We have experimentally studied the effects of solution flow on the growth kinetics of the
protein lysozyme. To this end, we have expanded our interferometry setup [Vekilov et al., J …

Proteins are the elementary building units for all living creatures and are essential
components for information and energy processing in living systems. The need to …

Here, we employ n-octanol to elucidate the fundamental processes of hematin crystallization
from an organic solvent, identify the operational mechanisms of growth, and determine the …
