Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Single‐protein crystals </bold> could be formed in a controlled manner by using droplet‐based microfluidics. In the Full Paper on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 1049 ff.</ext-link>, M. Miyazaki and co‐workers show that this method was able to direct the nucleation profile of a protein by providing control over the crystallization conditions and the droplet size. The diffusion of protein molecules played an important role in the nucleation of protein crystals.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4smz2n9v" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
