报告内容摘要：
Recent progresses in protein and colloid crystallization as well as biomineralization have shown non-classical features in the early stage of nucleation [1]. While the classical nucleation theory predicts that the solute molecules reversibly aggregate in the supersaturated solution and form nuclei with the exact density and structure of the crystals in the final stage, the non-classical pathway suggests an intermediate phase (clusters or dense liquid phase) exists in between the initial solution and the final crystalline state [1]. The free energy landscapes of the non-classical pathway show an additional free energy minimum corresponding to the intermediate phase. If the free energy of the intermediate phase is higher than that of the initial solution, it is unstable and the intermediate phase exists as mesoscopic clusters. If the free energy of the intermediate phase is lower than that of the initial solution, then the metastable phase can be a dense liquid phase [3]. Here we show that pre-assembled protein clusters formed via cation bridging can serve as a building block of crystallization. We also discuss the potential application of using trivalent metal ions for protein crystallization. |
