Enhancing the volume and the optical quality of hen egg-white lysozyme crystals by coupling the salt concentration gradient crystallization method with a magnetic field

The effect of coupling the salt concentration gradient crystallization method with the use of the paramagnetic salt MnCl(2) and a magnetic field is reported. The use of a simple magnetic device is proposed to have a significant effect on hen egg-white lysozyme crystal growth. Large single crystals g...

Sumario:The effect of coupling the salt concentration gradient crystallization method with the use of the paramagnetic salt MnCl(2) and a magnetic field is reported. The use of a simple magnetic device is proposed to have a significant effect on hen egg-white lysozyme crystal growth. Large single crystals greater than 10 mm(3) in volume with optical perfection were consistently obtained in this study.
