SUMMARY:Predicting Crystal Nucleation:  A New Twist to an Old Story - Daan

DESCRIPTION:Protein solutions exhibit very interesting phase behaviour tha
 t is qualitatively different from that of simple atomic or molecular subst
 ances.  This phase behaviour has important consequence for the kinetics of
  protein crystal nucleation.  I will discuss simulations of homogeneous pr
 otein crystallisation and report on very recent results concerning seeded 
 nucleation.  Our simulations reveal a surprising mechanism by which micro-
 porous materials may promote protein-crystal nucleation.
