Protein Crystallization in vivo

Jonathan P. K. Doye and Wilson C. K. Poon

Curr. Opin. Colloid In., 11, 40-46 (2006)

Abstract

Protein crystallization in vivo provides some fascinating examples of biological self-assembly. Here, we provide a selective survey to show the diversity of functions for which protein crystals are used, and the physical properties of the crystals that are exploited. Where known, we emphasize how the nature of the protein-protein interactions leads to control of the crystallization behaviour.
