Work by LEPABE team is highlighted as back cover paper
Posted on October 16th, 2020
The article "Controlled protein crystal nucleation in microreactors: the effect of the droplet volume versus high supersaturation ratios" is the back cover image in the issue 28 of CrystEngComm (vol. 22), a journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
This paper resulted from the work developed by Dr. Filipa Castro and Prof. Fernando Rocha, from the Supramolecular Assemblies group of LEPABE. In this paper the control of enhanced protein nucleation in microdroplets under high supersaturation ratios is discussed, where lysozyme is used as a model protein.
