物理环境是影响蛋白质晶体形核的重要因素。文中回顾了各种物理环境如光、电场、超声波、磁场、微重力、温度、机械振动、异相形核界面对蛋白质晶体形核的影响,并对各物理环境下蛋白质晶体形核的可能机制进行探讨,展望了利用物理环境影响蛋白质晶体形核的研究前景。
This paper reviews the effects of physical environments(including light,electric field,ultrasound,magnetic field,microgravity,temperature,mechanical vibration,and heterogeneous nucleation interface) on protein crystal nucleation.The research results are summarized and the possible mechanisms of the effects are discussed.In the end of this review,the application prospects of these physical environments(including coupled environments) in protein crystallization are presented.
