Characterization of selected biomolecules in the course of the STS-95 mission using diagnostics developed within ESA's technology and research program

We used Dynamic Light Scattering to study bio-molecule samples flown on the STS-95 mission, and processed in the Advanced Protein Crystallization Facility. The data represent for the first time characteristics of samples, which have been investigated at several stages in the processing chain: at the filling site, or the experimenter's laboratory, respectively, at the launch site before late access loading into the shuttle, and immediately upon return from orbit.
