==Objective: A [http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=0006160D-B90B-1CDA-B4A8809EC588EEDF&pageNumber=8&catID=4 "Magic Machine*"] for Rapidly Creating Membrane Protein Crystals==
I am interested in using a combination of approaches including biomolecular materials, biochemistry, electron crystallography, molecular biology, and synthetic biology in order to create a general method for building protein crystals (in particular membrane protein crystals) in a deterministic fashion.
Many of the components required to build this "magic machine" already exist, however, they must be assembled and further characterized in order to create a working prototype.
* The "Magic Machine" is a device imagined by Roderick MacKinnon in the linked interview.
