Prediction of crystallization of a colloid-protein complex by controlled complex self-assembly at the solution surface

A solution mixed with colloidal particles and protein is applied in the fabrication of photonic crystals. In this study, the interaction between colloidal particles and protein molecules was investigated, and a structural model was proposed to describe how they combined. The crystallization conditio...
