Crystallography Reports Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Many factors have effects on crystallization. The major influencing factors during protein crystallization are summarized in this paper. Recommendations are made about the basic process of crystallization and the analysis of the thermodynamic effects on crystallization, and the dynamics factors effecting crystallization during an equilibrium process are discussed. The advantages of ionic liquid in various chemical processes, especially in the field of biochemistry, are emphasized, and some tentative conclusions are made about future short-term trends.
