With the increase of industrial applications of proteins [Bre08], the desired amount of high purity proteins is increasing, too. Crystallized proteins offer an improved shelf life with a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003every high degree of preservation of the protein enzyme activity. A further important advantage of protein crystallization is purification at low cost in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eindustrial mass production. A large number of studies on the crystallization of proteins with the aim to optimize purity, yield, shape\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eor activity were performed, e. g. by Durbin and Feher or McPherson. In research papers on protein crystallization, lysozyme is the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emost often described protein because it is easily available and it is of fairly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elow cost. In most cases, however, only the crystallization processes are investigated,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe dissolution is neglected even though dissolution of crystals is of most importance for the use of the proteins after storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a better controlled use of crystallized proteins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein future, it is necessary to observe and understand those dissolution mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to the high price most proteins could be examined in only a low quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTherefore, new technologies of the examination need to be developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783736997066\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783736997066","offer_id":39457520123997,"sku":"9783736997066","price":37.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/640e36cd-d32a-4c78-bd5c-c7c838806251.jpg?v=1777442905","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/protein-crystals-definition-and-control-of-dissolution-von-ronny-oswald","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
