Resumen:

The aim of this chapter is to briefly review the recent applications of the gel method using basic crystallization strategies to optimize the quality of small molecules (organic and inorganic molecules) as well as of biological macromolecules including proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, multimolecular assemblies, and viruses in gels. The characterization, properties, and applications of gels for the crystallization of low- and high-molecular-weight compounds are also reviewed. Crystallization using classic and novel gels and crystallographic results obtained with small model proteins, large biological macromolecules, or biomacromolecular complexes involved in different biological mechanisms are also presented. Additionally, the transport phenomena are reviewed, focusing on proteins and biomacromolecular complexes. In the final part, new trends in crystallization using gels are discussed. © 2015, 1993 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
