Specific tag[edit]

I'm new to this, so hopefully I'm doing everything right. If not, I'm happy to learn, please let me know. I've added the too-specific tag at the top of the article because it seems to deal with special cases a lot more than the general principles. I've put in some work tidying and generalizing the introduction, but input from some more experienced editors would be great to I know it's on the right track.

Phase diagram?[edit]

An important image may be a phase diagram for protein crystallization - the graph of protein concentration vs. precipitant concentration, and the threshold at which crystals form. Scaldwell17 (talk) 17:38, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Article Title[edit]

It may be better to title the article "macromolecular crystallization" or "biomolecular crystallization". The techniques described here also apply for things like structured RNA, ribosomes, viruses... etc. which are not (or not completely) protein. Scaldwell17 (talk) 05:37, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

improve description of statistical mechanics in the theory of protein crystallization section[edit]

the current description is long-winded and not particularly insightful. the key insight of the theory this section is trying to convey, which is that entropy trades off with energetics as captured by the gibbs free energy should be plainly stated.

I took a first pass at this. Could use some eyes on it and more citations.'); DROP TABLE ARTICLES;-- (talk) 00:46, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
