I remember seeing an approx (5mm)^3 haemoglobin crystal in the MRC LMB crystal growing room, and the nucleosome crystals there were almost as big in their longest dimension.

I am aware that for neutron protein crystallography one usually needs crystals with mm dimensions. I have found some information on crystallization under micro-gravity and how this can enlarge the crystal size. However, I would rather be interested in the dimensions for crystals obtained from a regular lab setup. > > Thanks, Tobias. > > -- > ___________________________________________ > > Dr. Tobias Beck > ETH Zurich > Laboratory of Organic Chemistry > Wolfgang-Pauli-Str. 10, HCI F 322 > 8093 Zurich, Switzerland > phone: +41 44 632 68 65 > fax: +41 44 632 14 86 > web: http://www.protein.ethz.ch/people/tobias > ___________________________________________
