Key Factors for Successful Protein Purification and Crystallization

Abstract

Protein purification and crystallization problems have been noticed for many years. The strategies developed for protein solubility and crystallization have improved the protein production and provide high-resolution crystals for structural studies. The protein solubility is achieved by the Site-directed mutagenesis that generates the hydrophobic to hydrophilic mutations. However, the purity and rate of crystallization success still needs to be improved.
