Controlling one protein crystal growth by droplet-based microfluidic system

The preparation of a single crystal is important for a detailed understanding of the structure of protein. However, the preparation of a suitable crystal for X-ray diffraction is often a drawback due to the complexity of the protein molecules and the limited fundamental understanding of the protein crystallization mechanism. In this study, we studied the crystallization mechanism in droplet that was prepared by the microfluidic chip. We found...
