摘要
With the advantages of high throughput, low consumption and large-scale integration, microfluidics has proven to be a promising technique for protein crystallization and screening. This article reviews the recent progress of various microfluidic techniques successfully applied in protein crystallization, including PDMS-based valve and pump, droplet, SlipChip and DropLab. In addition, due to the high importance and great challenges of membrane proteins in structural biology, we further introduce the microfluidic techniques for crystallization of membrane proteins.
