Figure 3: Protein crystals and their magnetic orientation.

From: In-situ and real-time growth observation of high-quality protein crystals under quasi-microgravity on earth

Figure 3

Crystals of (a) mKO and (b) ZPαβ grown in the control experiments (Control) and using the system developed (Magnet) are shown. The left two pictures are the results of the crystallization experiments (top view). Insets show enlarged views of the boxed regions. Scale bars, 200 μm. The magnetic field direction is perpendicular to the display. The right panels indicate cartoons of obtained crystals and crystal packings of the protein molecules. The figures of protein molecules were prepared with PyMOL (The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System, Version 1.5.0.3. Schrödinger, LLC. http://www.pymol.org).
