Crystallography platform

Description

Type of entity	Platform
Main activity	The CristalO platform is divided into two parts: crystallogenesis and crystallography. It provides the necessary infrastructure and support to facilitate researcher on macromolecules crystallography. We provide facilities and support for crystallization, crystal growth-monitoring/imaging system, X-ray diffraction data collection and process for any macromolecule of interest.
Keywords	crystallogenesis, X-ray crystallography, 3D structure determination of proteins and protein complexes

Movable ?	yes no
Description	It is within the Crystallization department that the formation of crystals from a soluble protein is achieved. The identification of the crystallization conditions is carried out automatically by a crystallization robot. Then comes a manual step of reproduction and optimization of the crystals.
