Abstract
Crystallization methods for biological macromolecules are described. The methods discussed apply for most proteins, large RNAs, multimacromolecular complexes and viruses. The chapter covers crystallization arrangements and methodologies, parameters that affect the crystallization of macromolecules, how to crystallize a new macromolecule, techniques for physical characterization of crystallization and the use of microgravity. This chapter is also available as HTML from the International Tables Online site hosted by the IUCr.
