Compositions and methods for purifying and crystallizing molecules of interest

摘要

A composition of matter is provided. The composition includes at least one ligand capable of binding a target molecule or cell of interest, the at least one ligand being attached to at least one coordinating moiety selected capable of directing the composition of matter to form a non-covalent complex when co-incubated with a coordinator ion or molecule. Also provided are methods of using such compositions for target purification, crystallization and immunization.
