Animated Views 1536 different Bovine liver catalase
crystallization experiments were setup. Every experiment was recorded 203
times at 30 minute intervals. Still images were used to produce
time-lapse recordings of the experiments.
Determine preliminary outcomes that could lead to crystallization.

Conclusions HTP crystallization can have dual roles:
1) A method to produce crystals 2) A tool for knowledge discovery
Setting up a lot of crystallization experiments is not a cure-all (GIGO).
Method variation can produce different results.
Image quality is critical for success. Verification of the outcomes’ composition
is an important focus for development.
