Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a teaching kit for protein crystallization, which is used for protein crystallization experiments in biological science teaching. The present invention also relates to a method for protein crystallization using the aforementioned kit. Background technique

[0002] The three-dimensional structure of proteins is extremely important information in life science research. The most commonly used method for analyzing the three-dimensional structure of proteins is X-ray diffraction, and obtaining high-quality protein crystals is an important prerequisite for protein structure analysis using this technology. Egg white lysozyme is a protein that is easier to grow into an ideal single crystal. It has the characteristics of simple crystallization reagents, short crystallization time, and easy growth of protein crystals. Therefore, it is used as an important model protein and is widely used in protein crystallization mechanisms and Methods...
