Abstract excerpt
Crystals of the Met derivative of the sperm whale myoglobin triple mutant Mb-YQR [L(B10)Y, H(E7)Q and T(E10)R] were grown under microgravity conditions and on earth by vapour diffusion. A comparison of crystal quality after complete data collection and processing shows how microgravity-grown crystals diffract to better resolution and lead to considerably improved statistics for X-ray diffraction data compared...
