Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
ow do proteins crystallize for X-ray crystallography and why is it difficult or impossible for some proteins to crystallize?
Here the question asked can be divided to 2 parts, process of protein crystallization and difficulties in crystallization of certain proteins. Let's understand the process of protein crystallization and move on to the second part of the question.
