| Research Abstract |
We tried to crystalliza protein molecules not via conventional salting-out method but via colloidal crystallization method. Protein molecules were concentrated by centrifugal dialyzattion against ultra-pure water or dilute aqueous HCl solutions.
Unfortunately, we could not obtain typical colloidal crystals of protein. Instead, normal protein crystals without using conventional salting-out method.
In addition, we also confirm novel crystallization processes via liquid-liquid phase separations.
