While crystallization historically predates crystallography, it is a critical step for the crystallographic process. The rich history of crystallization and how that history influences current practices is described. The tremendous impact of crystallization screens on the field is discussed.
虽然从历史角度来看,结晶早于晶体学,但它是晶体学过程中的关键步骤。本文描述了结晶的丰富历史以及这段历史如何影响当前的实践。还讨论了结晶筛选对该领域的巨大影响。
