Cristallisation d'une protéine, ici une enzyme (ou biocatalyseur) qui coupe l'ADN, en vue d'études structurales par cristallographie. L'analyse d'un cristal par diffraction des rayons permet de visualiser la protéine empilée au sein de ce cristal. Il en résulte une image 3D de la protéine qui renseigne sur sa forme, mais également sur sa fonction biologique.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
