Category Description

Additional Descriptive Information for Depositors 

 
In the following tables, enter the chemical constituents of the solutions used 
for crystalization. Concentrations and quantities are not required. 


The crystal_id identifies separate sets of crystalization conditions.
Within eachset of crystalization conditions, the crystallization solutions are
identified as 1, 2, or 3 by the sol_id. 

                     
Solution 1 contains the biomolecule to be crystallized. Solution 2 contains the
components of the precipitating solution. Solution 3 contains the components of
the soaking medium. Note, include the solvent (generally water) in the list of
components. One table is provided for each set of crystalization conditions.
solution. Each table provides space to list as many as five chemical components
(component_id) per solution (sol_id).
