Macromolecular crystallization in microgravity
Density difference fluid flows and sedimentation of growing crystals are greatly reduced when crystallization takes place in a reduced gravity environment. In the case of macromolecular crystallography a crystal of a biological macromolecule is used for diffraction experiments (x-ray or neutron) so as to determine the three-dimensional structure of the macromolecule. The better the internal ord...
متن کاملSimulation of Continuous Preferential Crystallization Processes
This work investigates the effects of different seeding strategies and residence time characteristics on the dynamics of a Mixed Suspension Mixed Product Removal (MSMPR) crystallizer equipped with a fines dissolution unit and applied to continuous preferential enantioselective crystallization. The fines dissolution is included as recycle streams around the MSMPR crystallizer. Moreover, primary ...
متن کاملSimulated Microgravity Modulates Differentiation Processes of Embryonic Stem Cells.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Embryonic developmental studies under microgravity conditions in space are very limited. To study the effects of altered gravity on the embryonic development processes we established an in vitro methodology allowing differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) under simulated microgravity within a fast-rotating clinostat (clinorotation) and capture of microarray-based g...
متن کاملA test of macromolecular crystallization in microgravity: large well ordered insulin crystals.
Crystals of insulin grown in microgravity on Space Shuttle Mission STS-95 were extremely well ordered and unusually large (many >2 mm). The physical characteristics of six microgravity and six earth-grown crystals were examined by X-ray analysis employing superfine phi slicing and unfocused synchrotron radiation. This experimental setup allowed hundreds of reflections to be precisely examined f...
متن کاملCrystallization kinetics of hard spheres in microgravity in the coexistence regime: interactions between growing crystallites.
The hard sphere disorder-order transition serves as the paradigm for crystallization. However, measurements of the crystallization kinetics for colloidal hard spheres in the coexistence regime are incomplete for early times and are affected by sedimentation. We use time resolved Bragg light scattering to characterize crystal nucleation and growth in a microgravity environment on the space shutt...
