Abstract
Solubility curves (a phase diagram) of an amorphous precipitate and the orthorhombic crystals of a membrane protein, the photoreaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, were determined. With the phase diagram, the process of crystal growth of the membrane protein was elucidated within a general physicochemical framework, and justification was provided of hitherto empirically selected crystallization conditions.Keywords
