【 摘 要 】

Compare incorporation of protein aggregates into growing protein crystals on ISS (International Space Station) and on Earth. Measure growth rates in 1g (1 gravity) versus microgravity (micro-g) for different size aggregates of proteins. Compare the defect density and crystal quality via fluorescent-based atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction quality of crystals grown at different rates in a 1g environment.
