Crystallography: Precise Manipulation and Patterning of Protein Crystals for Macromolecular Crystallography Using Surface Acoustic Waves (Small 23/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
J. B. French, T. J. Huang, and co-workers develop a surface acoustic wave method to manipulate protein crystals for macromolecular crystallography. On page 2733, a capillary tube is coupled onto a piezoelectric substrate with a pair of interdigital transducers. When the transducers are turned on, an acoustic field is generated and introduced into the capillary through a thin layer of coupling gel. The micrometersized protein crystals suspended in the capillary will then be manipulated by the acoustic field and aligned into a linear pattern.
