Crystalization of ribonucleic acid and protein in microgravity conditions
Abstract
Protein biosynthesis is illustrated, and the parameters influencing crystallization are given. The crystallization principles of the Cosima Mission, the crystallization chamber of the Photon Mission, and the cryostat experiments of the D2 mission are illustrated. The ribosome's structure and function within the living cell are discussed.
