Glossary - Molecules: Nucleation, Aggregation and Crystallization - page 346

Crystallization cocktail — An aqueous medium in which crystallization
may appear; sometimes the composition of such a medium is difficult to
determine.

Crystallomic — How to find crystallization conditions using minimum
amounts of protein and labor ( low throughput crystallization ). The evaluation
of crystallization trials is to assign a sign and a value of the second virial
coefficient. (The word crystallomic was coined in 2002 by Dr. Jan Sedzik.)

Crystalomics™ — How to put proteins both old and new to work rapidly
and efficiently in the harsh conditions typical of most practical industrial
processes and in therapeutic interventions of un-precedented power and
benefit.

Crystallomics — Production of highly purified proteins samples and
diffraction quality crystals.

Dalton (Da, D) — Unit of Atomic Mass, equal to 1/12th the mass of one
atom of carbon-12 (1.6604 × 10 −24 g).

Dish — A stack of wells.

Genomics — The study of genes and their function.

Hanging drop — A method of producing protein crystals on the micro
scale. The drop “hangs” over a reservoir and equilibrates with it; during
this process crystals may appear.

Ion — An atom, or group of atoms, that has acquired a net electric charge
by the gain or loss of one or more electrons.

Mother liquor — See crystallization cocktail.

Native conditions — In vitro : natural pH, ionic strength similar to human
blood values and temperatures from 4 ° C to 36 ° C.
