Protein Preperation Laboratory

Facilities are available for the crystallization of proteins, microscopic evaluation of crystals, and mounting for further x-ray analysis. 3D modeling software on a PC Linux system can be used for examination of electron density maps, fitting models to the map density, and for the energy-minimization or simulated-annealing refinement of a protein model against the x-ray data.
