Welcome to the Macromolecular Crystallization
Laboratory
MCL's Mission
The Macromolecular Crystallization Laboratory (MCL) was established within the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering in 1997. The mission of the MCL is to engage in fundamental and applied research on, and train engineers and scientists in, all aspects of the crystallization of biological macromolecules, in collaboration with other laboratories at UT and elsewhere. The research areas include crystal growth mechanisms, crystal quality measurements, phase diagrams, and crystallization of novel proteins. The goal of these efforts is to have a significant impact in the fields of structural biology, bioseparations and drug design through research on crystallization.
