Protein Crystal Growthon the International Space Station
Why
In microgravity, there is a higher chance to obtain
high-quality crystals with well-ordered molecules.
01
Flow
A rocket carrying our protein samples heads to "Kibo"
where we grow protein crystals under a gravity-free environment.
02
About
Roughly 10 billion different kinds of proteins
are produced in the entire natural world,
with the human body accounting for about 100,000 proteins.
03
Interview
Meet the scientists from various fields involved
in the space experiments talk about their cutting-edge research.
