Time-resolved light scattering studies on protein precrystallization fractal clusters

X-ray diffraction is one of the most important methods for determining the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules. However, obtaining biological crystals is a lengthy and painstaking endeavour. Therefore, no universal recipes exist ;thus the field of protein crystallization can be judged as highly empirical. Hen-egg white lysozyme has served as a prototype to study the early stages of protein crystallization. Crystallization is...
