Abstract：
:Advances in the crystallization of biological macromolecules have come not only from the application of biochemical, molecular biological and immunological principles and techniques, but also from continued efforts to understand the crystallization process. Developments in crystallization methodologies, protocols, and reagents are also facilitating crystallization efforts.
