Use of cyclic peptides to induce crystallization: case study with prolyl hydroxylase domain 2

Abstract Crystallization is the bottleneck in macromolecular crystallography; even when a protein crystallises, crystal packing often influences ligand-binding and protein–protein interaction interfaces, which are the key points of interest for functional and drug discovery studies. The human hypoxi...
