摘要
This paper demonstrates the possibility of controlling nucleation and crystal growth behavior within a droplet formed in a microspace. The effects of droplet volume and shape were examined by using thaumatin as a model system. The droplet size and shape affected the number and size of the obtained protein crystals.
