High Density Protein Crystal Growth (HDPCG)

  • Uses the microgravity environment to grow large, high-quality crystals of proteins and other macromolecules for use in X-ray
  • diffraction studies. This structural information may lead to greater understanding of various diseases and design of new treatments.
  • HDPCG accommodates the growth of 1,008 separate, pre-mixed protein crystal growth samples.
  • Up to four trays of 252 wells can be housed into a standard single-locker, thermally controlled carrier - MERLIN.
