Author(s)

Abstract

The Biological Macromolecule Crystallization Database (BMCD) is described. The database currently contains 14372 entries with crystallization information for proteins, protein–protein complexes, nucleic acids, nucleic acid–nucleic acid complexes, protein–nucleic acid complexes and viruses. The information in the BMCD is applicable for general study of protein crystallization, for reproducing previously reported crystals reported in the literature, and for designing strategies to crystallize new macromolecules. Methods for utilizing the BMCD are presented, including examples of crystallization strategy development.
