Category EXPTL_CRYSTAL_GROW_COMP

Name:
'exptl_crystal_grow_comp'

Description:

   Data items in the EXPTL_CRYSTAL_GROW_COMP category record
   details about the components of the solutions that were 'mixed'
   (by whatever means) to produce the crystal.

   In general, solution 1 is the solution that contains the
   molecule to be crystallized and solution 2 is the solution
   that contains the precipitant. However, the number of solutions
   required to describe the crystallization protocol is not limited
   to 2.

   Details of the crystallization protocol should be given in
   _exptl_crystal_grow_comp.details using the solutions
   described in EXPTL_CRYSTAL_GROW_COMP.

Example:

Example 1 - based on PDB entry 5HVP and laboratory records for the structure corresponding to PDB entry 5HVP.
