Protein production: feeding the crystallographers and NMR spectroscopists

Nature Structural Biology volume 7, pages 970–972 (2000)Cite this article

Abstract

Protein purification efforts for structural genomics will focus on automation for the readily-expressed proteins, and process development for the more difficult ones, such as membrane proteins. Thousands of proteins are expected to be produced in the next few years. The purified proteins will be valuable reagents for the entire research community.
