For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

Protein cages found in nature within microbes help weather its contents from the harsh intracellular environment -- an observation with many bioengineering applications. Researchers recently developed ...

Dutch chemist Paul Poodt has developed two attractive alternatives for allowing protein crystals to grow under weightless conditions. If the crystals are grown upside down in a strong magnetic field, ...

Aspera Biomedicines launches second ADAR1p150 crystallization experiment to the ISS aboard SpaceX CRS-34, advancing oral Rebecsinib for 20+ cancers.

BioOrbit aims to kick off pre-clinical trials to study protein crystals for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) produced in a pharmaceutical factory in space in 2026. The UK-based company hopes that ...

A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...

Down a nondescript hallway in the Weintraub building on the Fred Hutch campus, there is an ordinary-looking side room filled with sparkling crystals. Before you go looking for a ski mask and hatch ...

Within biopharmaceutical companies, crystallography is generally the purview of research scientists involved in structure-based drug design. Its potential for protein purification has been known for ...
