Abstract

The Biological Macromolecule Crystallization Database (BMCD) is described. The database is available at and currently contains 14 372 entries with crystallization information for proteins, protein–protein complexes, nucleic acids, nucleic acid–nucleic acid complexes, protein–nucleic acid complexes and viruses. The information in the BMCD is applicable for the general study of protein crystallization, for reproducing crystals previously reported in the literature and for designing strategies to crystallize new macromolecules. Methods for utilizing the BMCD are presented, including examples of crystallization-strategy development.
