About this work
The human body contains more than 100,000 types of proteins, each providing information related to our health. Studying these proteins by crystallizing them helps researchers learn more about the body and potential disease treatments. Additionally, researchers have discovered that growing crystals in microgravity allows for slower growth and higher quality crystals. Hopkins and Glover both worked on the RTPCG-2 protein crystal experiment to advance new drug discoveries.
